Did you remember to set your clocks back one hour? ⏰ Time to #FallBack as we return to standard time. An extra hour means more time to plan your next outdoor adventure. 🍂 From beautiful fall foliage to peaceful trails and fresh air, #CAStateParks are calling.

Fun facts: 🐾 Bobcats can leap up to 12 feet in a single bound to ambush their prey. 🐾 They can run in short bursts up to 30 mph. 🐾 They place their back feet directly into the spots where their front feet stepped to walk quietly and hide their trail.

💦 Unlike domestic cats, bobcats actually enjoy water and can swim well. #WildlifeWednesday
