The bobcat is a member of the lynx part of the cat family. Bobcats are usually about 71cm long and have short tails like knobs, which is where they got their name. They have long, soft fur normally a pale brown with blackish splotches. They look similar to a domestic cat. The bobcat will use its keen eyesight to track down the small animals on which it feeds. They eat mostly rabbits, or small rodents, and occasionally small deer. Bobcats live in swamps, mountains, and wooded or shrubby areas in North America.
