BOULDER, Colo. — A man who lives on University Hill in Boulder took some spectacular pictures of a bobcat that visited his neighborhood Friday morning.

Jan Otto says his neighbors called his wife about 11:20 a.m. to say there was a bobcat sitting on their front porch in the 900 block of Lincoln Place.

Otto says he went to his basement to grab his camera. He looked around for the animal and eventually found it hiding under a tree in the backyard.

It started to move away from him and that was when he was able to get some clear shots of it before it jumped over a fence and disappeared.
