US EditionRattlesnake vs. Bobcat: Arizona Resident Captures Heated Standoff
- On June 6 at approximately 5 a.m., a woman in Oro Valley, Arizona, captured a 15-second video showing a tense encounter involving a bobcat and a rattlesnake near her home.
- The bobcat approached the rattlesnake, which responded by shaking its rattle as a defense tactic before potentially striking.
- The rattlesnake seemed to attempt camouflage during the tense encounter, while surveillance cameras captured wildlife activity triggered by motion.
- Campbell shared that footage from a different camera showed the bobcat casually walking off, leading her to believe that both animals disengaged and moved in opposite directions.
- The video highlights the predator-prey relationship since bobcats prey on rattlesnakes, though rattlesnakes are not a typical diet and can be deadly if bobcats are bitten.
