Gallery: Bobcats in Tucson, AZ

It's been winter in Arizona for a while now, but the bobcats are out and about; especially in Tucson, AZ. According to Arizona Highways, bobcats usually only come out in the early months of the year, primarily January and February, to mate. This may be why there have been some recent bobcat sightings near Tucson. So, here are some photos of bobcats from the past two weeks, taken by the photo staff at NWP, residents of Tucson, and a few special correspondents.
