WERC's Bobcat Rehabilitation Video |

In 1994, W.E.R.C. developed its ground-breaking,
world-renowned bobcat kitten program to ensure that single
bobcat orphans do not become habituated during their time
in care. The program helps socialize the orphan and reinforces
bobcat behavior, such as hunting and stalking techniques,
while ensuring that when the bobcat is released back to
its native habitat, it will steer clear of humans.
The bobcat “mommy” de-odorizes herself by rubbing
herbs all over her clothes and hair, gets into a full-body
costume that has been scented with bobcat urine, puts on
heavy gloves, and places a big, furry bobcat mask on her
head. Never uttering any sounds, she walks on all fours,
feeding the kitten, cleaning up, and then playing “chase-the-mouse”,
“attack the twig”, and other favorite bobcat
games. |
