The Wahoo Bobcat is a children's book written by publisher and naturalist Joseph Wharton Lippincott and illustrated by Paul Bransom, and first published by J. B. Lippincott & Co. in 1950. Lippincott wrote 17 books about animals and nature. He wrote two books set in Florida, one of which was The Wahoo Bobcat.

Plot

The Wahoo bobcat is the biggest bobcat in the Florida water prairie wilderness. A nine-year-old boy and the bobcat establish a friendship that endures through seasons of drought, dangers such as wildfire, floods, panthers and more. But the biggest threat is the hunting of the cat by men and dogs in the Florida swamp.

Adaptation

In 1963, Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color broadcast a dramatized version.
