"Now you may be wondering, what is that Bobcat doing on top of that Saguaro? It’s actually more common than you think, as they love to climb tall trees and cactus! Most likely, this cat was either scanning its surroundings for prey or had become prey itself.
Their paw pads are very tough and this enables them to climb the cactus without pain from the spines and stay out of reach from danger. Saguaro's average height reaches 40-60 feet so that’s quite an impressive feat for these felines! As always, if you encounter a Bobcat, give them their space and enjoy their presence from a distance."
