The Bobcat

The Bobcat, or Lynx rufus, is a mid-sized feline prowling through North America, with a distinguishable stubby "bobbed" tail, giving it its name. From head to tail, this nocturnal fur-ball spans between 65 to 105 cm, flaunting a coat of different shades of brown and marked with dark streaks or spots. Known for their stealth and agility, Bobcats are solitary creatures blessed with razor-sharp retractable claws and excellent hearing.
