The lynx preys on snowshoe hares, birds, meadow voles, dead or weak deer, moose and caribou. The snowshoe hare is three-fourths of the lynxes diet. Uneaten prey is covered with snow or litter. The bobcat prey on rabbits and hares primarily but will eat nearly any mammal, bird, or reptile. They have captured bats roosting in caves.
Bobcats are very versatile and adapt to available prey.
The enemies of the lynx include wolves, mountain lions, and man. The Bobcat has adapted well to the presence of humans and is steadily increasing in number. Inc. New York 1993, 1998. National Audubon Society, Field Guide to North American Mammals, New York, New York, 1997.
