Bobcats are becoming a common sight around some cities

Calgary is experiencing an increase in bobcat sightings. Brian Keating, a naturalist, claims that part of the population's success is due to the city's superior habitat for cats. All the way down to the Mexican border, bobcats can be found in areas where the snow is less deep. During the epidemic, more people went outside, which led to more sightings in the city. Prairie hares and the abundance of green habitats in Calgary certainly contribute to the increase in their population.

Bobcats, which are roughly twice as big as domestic cats, frequently exist in gardens and backyards. They are more ferocious than your tabby, whom they would probably eat if they could, but make no mistake about it. In actuality, bobcats are master predators, and wild cats have been "honed to evolutionary killing perfection." So don't try to introduce them to your pet if you notice them lazing around in your backyard.

Fortunately, they don't pose much of a threat to people, so you can safely observe them. They simply add additional color and diversity, which is why people believe they are a great complement to the city. What a pleasure it is to have the chance to encounter anything like a wild cat.
