The Olympics might be on hold, but one Louisiana bobcat didn’t get the message.

Footage shows the bobcat crossing a weir, reaching a gap and then leaping across:

YouTuber Ryan Olivier posted the video from April 2020 at Pecan Island, a marshy area located roughly midway between New Orleans and Port Arthur, Texas.

There are about 66,000 bobcats in Louisiana, according to a 2010 survey, and the population is increasing in the state.

According to National Geographic, bobcats are typically reclusive and nocturnal, making this daytime footage a rare treat for wildlife viewers.
