	Bobcat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bobcats move about their home ranges most actively in the hours near dawn and dusk, hunting small mammals.
		Bobcats are carnivores that typically hunt wild rabbits, hares, and rodents, but will also attempt to hunt the larger deer in winter months when other food is scarce.
		Bobcat tracks can generally be distinguished from feral or house cat tracks by their size (feral cat tracks being about 1.5 inches--3.8 cm--square) and also by the indentation at the top of the bobcat's foot pad (feral cat tracks generally show a single, rounded hump at the top of the foot pad).

		The bobcat roams freely at night and frequently during the day, except at the peak of summer; it occupies areas from 1/4 of a square mile to as much as 25 square miles, depending on habitat and sex.
		Bobcats are preyed upon by humans, cougars, coyotes and wolves; foxes and owls may prey on kittens.
		It is thought that originally bobcats were much larger than at present and have perhaps reduced in size due to the competition with other puma species, so as to take advantage of a different niche in the predatory food chain.

	Bobcat Ecology
		Bobcats are strict carnivores and prey upon a wide variety of mammals, reptiles, and birds.
		It is estimated that a female bobcat and the three kittens to which she gave birth at the beginning of her second year of life will consume at least 3800 cotton rats, 700 cottontail rabbits, and 3200 cotton mice by the end of her second year.
		Bobcats which encounter feral or free-ranging house cats that venture outside an urban area or live in a rural setting are at the highest risk.

		Bobcats are a far-ranging mammal, having home ranges as large as 20 square miles They are primarily nocturnal, hunting and moving during early morning and late evening hours.
		Data accumulated to date suggests that bobcats occur at moderate levels in the forested, southcentral portion of the state, and to a lesser extent, in the natural lakes region of northwest Indiana.
		Bobcats are more common in Michigan and Kentucky, where they are a game species trapped for their valuable fur.

	EEK! - Critter Corner - The Bobcat
		The bobcat can be confused with the real lynx, but you can tell them apart by knowing that the bobcat is slightly smaller in size, that they have irregular dark markings only on the top half of their tail, and they have shorter tufts of hair on their ears.
		Bobcats are on the move during twilight hours of sunrise and sunset during the summer, but they spend time hunting on winter days.
		Bobcats do have to beware of predators like hawks, owls, and eagles that prey on their young kittens, or coyotes that eat the bobcat’s food out of the same area.

		The mammals are the class of vertebrate animals primarily characterized by the presence of mammary glands in the female which produce milk for the nourishment of young; the presence of hair or fur; and which have endothermic or "warm blooded" bodies.
		Mammals have three bones in each ear and one (the dentary) on each side of the lower jaw; all other vertebrates with ears have one bone (the stapes) in the ear and at least three on each side of the jaw.
		Mammals belong among the amniotes, and in particular to a group called the synapsids, distinguished by the shape of their skulls.

		The bobcat is an elusive creature found in the northern hardwood forests of New Jersey.
		Bobcat declined in the 1800s as forests were cleared for lumber, fuel and agriculture, and by the early 1970s they were thought to be extirpated (locally extinct) from the state.
		Today bobcat, though classified as endangered, appear to be fairly well-established in the northern hardwood forests of the state, perhaps even more widespread than many think.

		Mammals have strong 4-chambered hearts that push blood quickly through their entire body, which gives mammals energy to be more active than cold-blooded animals.
		Mammals have larger brains than other vertebrates of equivalent size, and seem to be the most capable learners.
		Like other vertebrates, mammals have a bony backbone called a vertebral column as well as a cranium, which is a hard case made of bone that surrounds the brain.

		(His Latin name, after all, means "bad odor.") When frightened or cornered by a predator like a hawk or bobcat, the fl-and-white wonder turns around, raises his tail, and contracts the powerful muscles that surround his musk glands, thereby releasing some majorly stinky chemicals.
		The sharp-shooting skunk can spray the smelly stuff as a fine mist or as droplets up to 12 feet away.
