Bobcat: The Elusive Lynx of North America

The bobcat, a medium-sized wildcat native to North America, is known for its adaptability and stealth. With its tufted ears, short tail, and striking spotted coat, the bobcat is a true predator of the wild. Sanctuaries offer these elusive cats spacious enclosures with plenty of hiding spots and climbing structures to simulate their natural environment.

Bobcats are solitary hunters, preying on rabbits, rodents, and birds. Sanctuaries carefully balance their diet to ensure they maintain their strength and agility. These nocturnal creatures are most active at dusk and dawn, making them a challenge to observe in the wild. In sanctuaries, visitors can learn about the bobcat's crucial role in maintaining ecological balance as a top predator.
