The young bobcat, one of only four known to live at the island state park, was treated at the Jacksonville Zoo in neighboring Florida after hikers on Jekyll Island found the animal paralyzed in late September. The wild cat recovered in a few days. Vets blamed its paralysis on ticks they found covering the bobcat. (AP Photo/Russ Bynum)
