Our Critter of the Month is a Bobcat cub lounging in a tree.
Bobcats are shy and solitary. They can easily scale residential walls and can be found sunbathing or napping in residential yards. ~ Photo Courtesy of Shirl Lamonna of the neighborhood.
A Friendly Reminder Regarding Wildlife
We live in the beautiful Sonoran Desert and share our neighborhoods with the wildlife that has been here long before our homes. Coyotes, bobcats, javelinas, mountain lions, rattlesnakes, gila monsters, and birds of prey can pose a danger to humans and their pets. We must be aware of our surroundings and avoid confronting these animals. Maintain your distance and do not behave in a threatening manner.
If you encounter a rattlesnake, please call 911 immediately to have it removed. Also, do not feed or supply water to wild animals since they may become more brazen.
