Northwest Florida Daily News - Wednesday, June 1, 2016.
Bobcat suspected in attack on woman. Authorities believe a woman might have been attacked by an adult bobcat Tuesday morning on the Eglin reservation in Walton County.
The woman was taken to Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast after the attack, which was called in shortly after 8 am.
"The best guess is that it could have been an adult male bobcat," said Mike Spaits, a spokesman for Eglin Air Force Base. "But we're not completely sure because the information was sketchy." 
He said there are bobcats on the reservation, but they don't know how many because officials don't track their population.
He called Tuesday's attack "a very unusual occurrence" and said he never had heard of a local bobcat attack.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating the incident.
FWC spokeswoman Bekkah Nelson said they could not confirm the type of animal that attacked the woman, but that it wasn't a bear.
The victim had injuries to her head and stomach that were not life-threatening, Nelson said.
The attack occurred south of Freeport in a secure area of the reservation. The woman is a contractor for Eglin, Spaits said.
"She came out of one of the buildings and that's when it occurred," he said.
Walton County sheriff's deputies also responded to the incident, which was originally called in as a bear attack, according to spokeswoman Corey Dobridnia.
"The victim was in shock," she said. "She didn't know what had attacked her." Reply
