Tucson wildlife: A bobcat and its baby were caught on camera multiple times playing together in a backyard on Tucson's southeast side this weekend. These desert cats were seen on June 11 and 12, between 5 and 6 a.m., by Tucson resident Tracie Robbins, who shared the videos on Twitter.
"We may not see a bobcat for months, and then sometimes we’ll have visitors for several days in a row," Robbins said. She said she noticed a basket of golf balls tipped over when she woke up and took that as a sign that the cats routinely stop by to visit and play on the putting green outside.
