iN VIDEO: Bobcat caught on Penticton doorbell camera

A Penticton resident discovered an unexpected neighbour prowling past her house when she reviewed the footage from her doorbell camera. 

Nicola Long posted a video to Facebook today, Feb 26, showing what appears to be a bobcat walking up some stairs outside her house in the Heritage Hills area. 

"Is this a bobcat coming up my stairs on the left?" Long said in her post. "I wonder what made it hesitate? I love it!"

Bobcats remain active year-round but are reclusive animals, making this sighting a rare event.
