The end of the bobcat's tail is always black with a white tip. Bobcats also have a patch, or tuft, of short black fur on each ear. Bobcats are carnvores, or meat-eaters. They usually eat rabbits, squirrels and mice.
Bobcats live in a variety of habitats, including forests, swamps and mountains.
Bobcat young are called kittens. Bobcats usually have 3-4 kittens each year. Bobcats can jump eight feet in the air, or over three times their height. Bobcats snarl, howl, scream and wail.
