Bobcats look like a large house cat.
Bobcats are brown with gray or white spots, clipped ears tipped with pointed tuffs of hair, and no foot pads. They are very strong for their size, very fast, and have excellent eye sight. The bobcat hunts at night using its whiskers to feel its way, and is a solitary hunter. Bobcats like to eat rabbits, deer mice, wood rats, squirrels, snakes, skunks, opossums, grasshoppers, bats, small game, elk, deer, and livestock. They rarely eat fruit.
