Chattanooga Zoo loses beloved bobcat after 19 years from cancer battle

The Chattanooga Zoo is mourning the loss of longtime bobcat resident Joan the Bobcat after 19 years.

The zoo shared their grievances on social media Saturday night for the passing of 'sweet Joan Bobcat' after a tough fight with liver cancer.

Joan the Bobcat had called The Chattanooga Zoo home for almost two decades.
