A bobcat is a North American wildcat that ranges from southern Canada to northern Mexico. The bobcat is an adaptable predator that inhabits wooded areas, as well as semi-desert, urban edge, forest edges and swampland environments. It preys on rabbits, rodents, birds, and even deer, making it a fierce and versatile hunter. The bobcat has black tufts on its ears and spots on its fur that range in color from brown to buff. Its coat provides excellent camouflage in a variety of habitats.
