A News 12 viewer spotted a bobcat last week in Orange County.

The wildcat was recorded on cellphone video in Sugar Loaf near the post office on Kings Highway on Friday.

Bear Mountain Zoo wildlife experts say daytime sightings, like this one, are rare but that they’re more common in our area than people may realize.

Experts say bobcats are generally afraid of people but can attack both people and pets, so take caution and avoid engaging with the animal.
