Sightings of what appears to be a cross of a Bobcat and feral cat have grown with the opening of the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail.

“We always get a lot of reports of large cats and Bobcats, and we see a lot of Bobcats,” Coastal Resource manager Phillip West said. “But lately we’ve seen and had a couple of reports and even a picture of a long tailed version of a Bobcat that appears to us to be a hybrid.”"
