Anyone seen a bobcat out on the trails in Essex county?

[Drock]

I was just riding my usual trails at night and think I saw a bobcat running away from me. Definitely a cat, to me it looked bigger and ran like a "big" cat. At first I saw the eyes in my lights and was ready to yell at another dumb-ass deer to get out of my way but then it sprinted away and was like whoa. IDK i've never seen one in Essex county since its pretty densely populated I didn't think it was possible. Just curious if anyone has seen something similar?

after seeing this video, i'm pretty certain I saw a bobcat

Saw one on today's ride:




They are everywhere down south. I captured one on a security cam a few months ago snooping around the outside of our lanai at the Florida compound.
