Orphaned Bobcat Siblings Released Back into Jacks Peak Park

Two of Monterey County’s wild residents, two orphaned bobcat siblings, are back home at Jacks Peak Park. The two cubs, a brother and sister, were rescued by the SPCA of Monterey County last summer in the Jacks Peak Park area. They spent the last 8 months at the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley (WCSV) where they could grow up safely and prepared for release back into the wild. The two were raised together in a naturalized enclosure, were fed live rodents and carrion with no human contact so they would be self-sufficient in the wild with a natural fear of humans. On Wednesday March 24, the two bobcats – now juveniles -came back to their home territory with a lot of humans in tow to see them go free. Monterey County Parks staff transported the cubs and wildlife center personnel deep into Jacks Peak Park, where the bobcats were successfully returned to their natural habitat. For more information contact, Bryan Flores 831-601-7464, Monterey County Parks Operations Manager for Jacks Peak and Ashley Kinney 408-929-9453, WCSV Wildlife Coordinator.
