Believe it or not, bobcats are the popular stories of rabid animals attacking folks we've been getting for years in SoAZ.

They eat all the rabid raccoons, coati, skunks, etc.

One attacked two other folks in a popular and populated campground on the NE side of the Catalina Mtns a couple weeks ago. That one was dispatched with the traditional hammer mechanically connected to trigger process -

"The first attack was on a 67-year-old man who is a camp host and lives on the grounds, Southard said. The man told authorities the bobcat ran out from under something and bit him in the abdomen. He pried the cat off at which time it ran farther into the campground where it attacked a 13-year-old boy"

The most interesting tale to me was a few years ago when a rabid one took a large man down to the ground in his own drive way in the middle of a Tucson neighborhood and he had to let it eat on his hand and arm to save a neck biting.

They are not uncommon or overly stealthy, rabid or otherwise in the metro area and domestic animals stand less chance of escaping the bobcats that coyotes - so they are well fed.
