Bobcats also hide in a bush and leap out when a rabbit or a squirrel runs by. They use their claws to catch the animal, then kill their prey by biting the animal's neck. Bobcats can run at up to 30 miles per hour, but they would rather walk. They put their back feet in the same spots where their front feet stepped. That way, they don't make so much noise by snapping extra twigs under their feet.
Bobcats climb well.
They can also swim, but they prefer not to do it. Bobcats like to den under fallen logs or under the root mass of a fallen tree. When the mother has babies, she has to find a dry den that her babies will be safe in. In the spring, two or three kittens are born. Only the mother takes care of them.
