Wildlife in Connecticut!

My sister and I saw something incredibly cool as we drove to Mass this morning. An animal was sitting right on the yellow line as we came into Morris; I slowed down because I wasn't sure which way it would jump, and it ran off to the right. It was woodchuck size and about that color, but moved like a rabbit or a manx cat, with the long, powerful back legs, and no visible tail. As it went into the grass on the roadside, we both saw pointed ears, and my sister spotted black eartips. Definitely a cat, but a big one, and the color looked wrong - all mottled gray and brown, like a wild animal. Well, it was a wild animal! A bobcat, the first we've ever seen. Isn't that cool!
