The bobcat is a medium-sized wild cat native to North America. It has a distinctive appearance, featuring tufted ears, a short tail, and spotted fur that helps it blend into its surroundings. Bobcats typically weigh between 15 to 35 pounds and measure about 26 to 41 inches in length, excluding their tails. Bobcats are solitary animals and are primarily nocturnal, hunting at night for small mammals like rabbits and rodents. They are adaptable creatures, thriving in various habitats, including forests, deserts, and suburban areas. Their keen senses and agility make them effective hunters in the wild.
