Four-legged fan of Rio Grande Valley birding center
What is that?
We had been greeted by rabbits, a cacophony of birds and maybe a roadrunner at the entrance to Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park.
We were ready to be amazed by more wildlife when we approached the first bridge. Looking down a side road we spotted the creature.
A chupacabra?
Actually it looked like a cat.
We saw a ranger down the trail and asked him about the cat. He said he didn't know of any domestic cats in the park and maybe it was a jaguarundi. How exciting!
But would an elusive jaguarundi sit in the open to watch us?
When I enlarged the photo later, it became clear.
This wasn't a jaguarundi. Just a fat house cat that had found a paradise at the birding center.
