Bobcats are native to the North American continent. They live extensively in the forests of Mexico and USA. They are apex predators and can be found in all forests where there is an abundance of their prey which includes rodents and small mammals. Their range even extends to some parts of Canada.

Bobcats can be found in many environments, from deserts, mountains, even swamps. They are one of the most adaptable mammals in North America.

Bobcats prefer large forested or wooded areas. Forest lands with immature trees, thick underbrush, occasional clearings, cliffs and timbered swamps are generally best. Common den sites include fallen trees, hollow logs or trees, thickets, caves and rock piles. Some bobcats make their dens in abandoned or little-used barns and buildings. Viewed by many as a "wilderness species," the bobcat's shy, secretive habits allow it to live surprisingly close to people.


I've researched because there is a family of bobcats in my backyard. They can live in any climate because of their thick fur, so they live in all 50 states.

cottontails, snowshoe hare, cotton rats, rodents, squirrels, birds, fish and insects. Sometimes they will feed on minks, foxes, skunks, small dogs, domestic cats, occasionally poultry or livestock.
rodents, birds, and deer
Bobcats eats cottonballs all day long
Mice, squirrels, birds, stray cats, rabbits, chickens, small deer, and possibly small dogs left outside would all be considered fine dining for a bobcat.
Its main preys are rabbit, mice & squirrels.




*If original food supply ^ runs out Bobcats will feed on Other Bobcats
