Bobcat Climbs 40-Ft Tall Cactus to Evade Mountain Lion

We’ve all heard of a cat stuck in a tree … but how about a bobcat on top of a cactus?

Nature photographer Curt Fonger captured the above photo of one of North America’s most elusive predators in an unusually precarious position, perched atop a saguaro cactus. The image, taken in Gold Canyon, Arizona, show the wild cat peering down at its unexpected visitors — and seeming quite comfortable in its prickly hiding spot.

The bobcat had apparently scurried up the cactus in an attempt to escape a nearby mountain lion, and after a few hours, it came down unharmed.
