The animal then walked across the street and into a neighbour's yard, she said.

Parker managed to snap a couple of pictures of the bobcat, which isn't the first one to be seen in the area.

"A mother and two babies have been seen at least three times in the past month on my street," she told CBC News Calgary.

Bobcats were also spotted with some frequency last yearin communities further south.
