Do bobcats have live birth

Answer 1

Yes, they do. The female raises the young alone. One to six, but usually two to four, kittens are born in April or May, after roughly 60 to 70 days of gestation. There may sometimes be a second litter, with births as late as September. The female generally gives birth in some sort of enclosed space, usually a small cave or hollow log. The young open their eyes by the ninth or tenth day. They start exploring their surroundings at four weeks and are weaned at about two months. Within three to five months they begin to travel with their mother.[31] They will be hunting by themselves by fall of their first year and usually disperse shortly thereafter.[17] In Michigan, however, they have been observed staying with their mother as late as the next spring.
