Texas Resident Captures Bobcat On Surveillance Camera

AUSTIN, TX — Texas residents are increasingly spotting bobcats in their neighborhoods, and there's good reason.

A resident in Allen, Texas, is the latest to capture images of the animal on video. While newcomers may be alarmed at the sight of a bobcat, they're actually quite a common sight in Texas.

While other native wild cat species are struggling to survive in Texas, the bobcat is thriving. According to the Texas Parks & Wildlife, "...the bobcat's secretive nature, highly developed physical capabilities, and ability to adapt to changing conditions have allowed it to thrive."

Today, the animal can be found throughout the state and is especially abundant in the South Texas brush country.
