ALSO, there have been reports of Bobcat sightings in Briar Meadow and near preserve in Rio Ponderosa!! Food sources are getting scarce because of all the land being developed.
The wildlife is running out of room and they have become more aggressive. I have read complaints about coyotes, gators and bobcats sightings. We have encroached on their environment so what did we expect? A coyote ripped through my friend's lanai to get at his cat. It was a gruesome scene. Use common sense.
