The Bobcat

Bobcats are about the size of a house cat; two feet tall and three to four feet long.

Bobcats are a subspecies of lynx, giving them their other name, red lynx. Bobcats are wonderful swimmers, like lynx are.

Bobcats are commonly found in deserts, prairies, swamplands, mountains, and around forests. The size of their territories very, depending on how old they are, their gender, and the distribution of prey. Bobcats prefer to make their homes in thickets, rock ledges, and hollow logs.

Bobcats eat anything from insects, birds, rabbits, hares, and rodents to deer.

Bobcats have long, reddish-silvery-brown fur coats with black tabby markings. They have golden-and-white muzzles and white bellies and chests with some cream, brown, and gold smudges here and there. They also have short bop tails.
