Three bobcats were filmed Jan. 2 passing through the back yard of a home in the Catalina Foothills just before sunset.
Jennifer Perez, who recorded the video of the feline trio and shared it on social media, said she often sees wildlife enter her yard from a deep wash located behind it. One bobcat shown can be heard softly growling around 30 seconds into the video. Video courtesy of Jennifer Perez.
