Two orphaned bobcat cubs were released back into the Jacks Peak Park area last week after spending eight months at the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley.
The cubs were raised together in a naturalized enclosure so they could grow up safely, according to a press release issued Wednesday by Monterey County officials.
Now juveniles, the bobcats were fed live rodents and carrion with no human contact so they would be self-sufficient in the wild and retain their natural fear of humans.
On March 24, Monterey County Parks staff transported the bobcats and wildlife center personnel deep into Jacks Peak Park, where the bobcats were successfully returned to their natural habitat.
