Residents living in a southwest Calgary community were shocked to see some unusual wildlife wandering through their neighbourhood on Wednesday.
Officials received a call around 7:30 a.m. from a resident in the community of Lakeview.
Originally the caller, living in the 3100 Block of Leduc Crescent, thought she had spotted a cougar and two cubs in her yard.
However, Alberta Fish and Wildlife say the animal is a Bobcat, out with her two baby cubs.
Officials say the animals are very shy, and pose little threat to humans.

An officer did visit a nearby school to advise administrators that kids can still go out for recess, but should stay away from the cats if they see them while walking home this week.
