Angry Bobcat Released From Trap

If you want to see the epigram "No good deed goes unpunished" in action, watch how this bobcat reacts to the friendly guys trying to free it from a steel-jawed trap.

It's astounding to get a closeup look at the bobcat's ferocity and lightning-fast reflexes. Even more fascinating though are its instincts once they manage to free it: the cat stands its ground, refusing to run away. Then it takes cover — underneath the fellows' vehicle. When it finally makes its true escape, you get one last dazzling display: its speed, which takes it over a rocky embankment and nearly out of sight before the camera-man can get a clear shot of it.
