Creature Feature: Bobcat

Super Sneaker

When stalking prey, bobcats place their back paws in the footprints of their front paws, so no extra noise is made.

Camouflage Coat

A bobcat’s mottled grayish-tan fur helps it blend in with its surroundings so it can ambush prey or hide from danger.

Powerful Peepers

Although its eyes are as big as yours, a bobcat’s pupils open three times wider. This lets in more light, helping the hunter spot prey in the dark.

Claws for Alarm

A bobcat keeps its claws tucked into its paws so they stay razor sharp. It unsheathes its terrible toenails to climb trees, catch prey, and fight threats.

Brawny Bite

Strong jaw muscles help a bobcat bite with might. Pointy canine teeth pierce a rabbit’s spine to deliver a quick death.
