I deliberately did not edit the photo so that it would be clear that such a wild animal lives in an area well inhabited by people. You can confidently determine that the houses are not far away among the trees on the right. Because along the road there are mailboxes and paths leading to houses.
The bobcat (Lynx rufus), also known as the red lynx, is a medium-sized cat native to North America. It ranges from southern Canada through most of the contiguous United States to Oaxaca in Mexico. The bobcat prefers rabbits and hares, it hunts insects, chickens, geese and other birds, small rodents, and deer. Prey selection depends on location and habitat, season, and abundance. Like most cats, the bobcat is territorial and largely solitary, although with some overlap in home ranges.
