Urban Bobcats
Recent years have seen an influx of bobcat sightings in Calgary, including the areas around Sunnyhill. These athletic and adaptive cats are opportunistic predators, willing to hunt prey on the ground or in trees.
What to do if you encounter a bobcat? While they pose no danger to people, bobcats may see small pets as prey. Keeping cats indoors and small dogs leashed is a good way to avoid a bad bobcat encounter.
