Bobcat Walks Into A Bar

No, this is not a joke.

Sometimes short-term wildlife activity can be filmed with a cellphone, apparently. Maybe there is a chance that a Bigfoot can be captured this way too?

On Monday, March 23, 2009, at Cottonwood, Arizona, a bobcat walked into a bar and attacked three people, including two men who were bitten by the animal.

Officers called to the Chapparal Bar arrived to find the bobcat in the parking lot, where they shot and killed it.

Tests were ordered to determine if the animal was rabid and it was found to have rabies.

Cottonwood police say the animal attacked when it scratched a woman who thought she had hit it with her car. Then police got a report of a bobcat acting aggressively toward a woman outside a Pizza Hut.

About 11 p.m. came the call from the bar that a bobcat was inside as patrons climbed atop bar stools to get away.

As the video demonstrates, one man there had wounds, including ones behind his ear.

Thanks for taking the time to…
