Beautiful Bobcat Spotted At Pleasanton Ridge: Photo Of The Week

PLEASANTON, CA — Patch reader John Harms shared this photo of a beautiful bobcat recently spotted at the Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park.

“I saw him before he saw me” Harms said. “Then he hunkered down in the grass, then started walking toward the trees. He kept turning around to check on me.”

Harms said he has seen a pair of mountain lion cubs in the same area.
