The bobcat (Lynx rufus) is a medium-sized wild cat native to North America, recognized for its short “bobbed” tail, tufted ears, and spotted or streaked fur. It inhabits diverse environments such as forests, swamps, and deserts.
Bobcats are found throughout North America, from southern Canada to central Mexico. They thrive in wooded areas, swamps, deserts, and even suburban environments.
Bobcats are carnivorous and primarily feed on rabbits, rodents, birds, and reptiles. They are solitary, territorial, and mostly nocturnal hunters.
The bobcat is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN due to its wide distribution and stable population, though local threats include habitat loss and vehicle collisions.
