Bobcat

The bobcat is a medium-sized wild cat with tufted ears and a short 'bobbed' tail. It prowls across North America, from Canada down to Mexico, adapting easily to forests, deserts, and even suburban edges. Though smaller than its lynx cousins, this stealthy hunter thrives across its range.

• Its stubby tail gives the bobcat its name.
• Bobcats live from southern Canada to southern Mexico.
• Their populations remain stable despite historic hunting for fur.
