The Bobcat has powerful jaws and long, pointed canine teeth. It has sharp, retractable claws, big ears, and a spotted coat. Many bobcats have long tufts of hair at the tip of the ears that improve the cat's hearing. The brown eyes have circular pupils. This is what this cat is named for.
Bobcats stalk their prey, and then pounce onto it.
They can leap up to 10 feet. They can often kill their prey in one powerful bite.
