Did you know?

The Bobcat resembles other species of the Lynx genus but is on average the smallest. Its coat is generally tan to grayish brown, with black streaks on the body and dark bars on the forelegs and tail. The ears are black-tipped and pointed, with short black tufts. Bobcats in the desert regions of the southwest have the lightest colored coats. Kittens are born well-furred and already have their spots.

We’re experiencing a bit of envy here in Santa Ana, where wildlife amounts to, well, not much more than squirrels, rabbits and the occasional hawk or owl.

Susan of Aliso Viejo shares these photos of a trio of curious bobcats that used to frequent her neighbor’s yard and encompassing wall.

Makes us want to go home and play with the family cat!

If you snap a photo of wild creatures in your neighborhood, on a trail, or anywhere else, please send them to pets@ocregister.com and we’ll share them with the world.
