WORCESTER - Gineton Silva pulled out his cell phone just in time Monday evening. "Everybody is asking me is that a lion? What is that doing there? Is that a zoo?!" Silva said.

He was walking up his Worcester driveway when a bobcat stopped him in his tracks.

"This is how far we were, right here. It was right there. I started zooming in, stopped right there. Looked at me. Took one step forward; I was like this, started running away back into the garage!" Silva recalled.
