So we're doing a "quick" 20 last Wednesday after work. We started off about 6PM.
The end of the run outbound is a 3.5 mile bike path through part of the Addicks reservoir. We're running along, and there is a deer in the path. This is an area surrounded by suburbia. Cool. The water is still high to the south, so the deer was probably close to the path for that reason.
We finish the outbound and start the return wondering if we are going to see the deer again. In about the same area, we see something looking like this guy:

Man. Screw the coyotes. Screw the lizards! We have bobcats!
