What appeared to be a big dog swimming in Browns Inlet proved to be a big cat.
Cedar Point resident Mike Maroules is no stranger to the area’s waterways, but he was surprised while out on his boat last week to find a bobcat paddling toward a swath of beach in Browns Inlet.
“I thought it was a big dog. I was going to go rescue it in case it was tired from swimming, but when I got close enough I could see it wasn’t a dog,” said Maroules, who snapped photographs of the bobcat during his June 13 outing.
“He was a big cat. He looked full grown,” Maroules added.
Not only was it unusual to see the nocturnal bobcat during the day, Maroules said he’s never seen one in the inlet before.
