The Center for Biological Diversity shares a video of officials from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources releasing a bobcat kitten into the wild. This is no sweet baby kitten, however, but one that earned the nickname Mr. Murderbritches. He's angry and threatening wildly out of proportion to his size. I think Lucifer Jr. here will do just fine in the wilderness. -via Metafilter
Update: Read more about Mr. Murderbritches at the Salt Lake Tribune. -Thanks, gwdmaine!

I've surprised bobcats on several occasions, and can confidently say they act nothing like that. They hide as much as possible, then quietly dash off in a flash when the opportunity arises. A lot tougher than domestic cats, a little ball of muscle and teeth and claws, but still firmly in the hide and run school of self defense.

Mr. Murderbritches is well named. They're called WILDCATS for a reason!

As I read that article, all I could think of was the song "The Cat Came Back."
