What really woke Sam out of her perpetual summertime snooze was an e-mail from Will of Irvine. He spotted a coyote AND a bobcat! Here’s what he wrote:
“I live in Irvine in the Rancho San Joaquin townhomes across from William R. Mason regional park. (Cross streets are University and Culver. ) I have seen one lone coyote twice in the past 3 weeks behind my unit walking toward the golf course in the early evening hours. What really surprised me was a bobcat walking behind my unit yesterday (Aug. 11) at about 1800 hours. What was even more odd is that he walked slowly within 5 feet of a sprinkler-repair man, showing no fear or nervousness. A large adult cat … looking very healthy.”

If you see a wild animal in Orange County (a real animal, not some yahoo who drank too much down in Newport Beach), you can share your experience with us here via e-mail at pets@ocregister.com.
Be sure to include these details:
Street name (intersection if possible)
City and ZIP code
Time of sighting
Activity of coyote or other large, wild animal
Pictures, people!
