Bobcats are nocturnal, being most active at night when their prey is. They have excellent vision and hearing which are their most important senses when it comes to hunting. They eat rabbits, rodents, squirrels, ground-nesting birds, turkeys and occasionally have been known to take a sick or small deer.
Bobcats have retractable claws like house cats.
This is a good way to tell the difference between a bobcat track and that of a dog since they are similar in size. Bobcats can only eat about 3 pounds of meat at a time so they will often cover up any leftover meat from a large game kill. Bobcats can run at up to 30 miles per hour. Bobcats put their back feet in the same place where their front feet stepped so as not to disrupt the surroundings any more than necessary. Bobcats mark their territory with urine just like housecats.
