What endangers bobcats survival?
Asked by Wiki User
De-forestation is caused by the development of tract homes and/or shopping malls adjoining the bobcat's range. Bobcats are prevalent throughout the US, parts of Canada and parts of Mexico. Rivers become polluted by manufacturing plants despite Federal, State, County, and City laws. All animal life relies on water for survival. Small mammals and birds that become the food of the bobcat carry the water pollution right on up the food chain. Poachers are not eco-friendly either. They leave their trash and filth everywhere.

Cougars, also known as pumas, mountain lions and panthers, are territorial and therefore hunt and travel alone....

How much babies does a bobcat have at a time?
Asked by Wiki User
Bobcats typically live to six or eight years of age, with a few reaching beyond ten. The longest they have been known to live is 16 years in the wild and 32 years in captivity. They generally begin breeding by their second summer, though females may start as early as their first year. Sperm production begins each year by September or October, and the male will be fertile into the summer.
A dominant male will travel with a female and mate with her several times, generally from winter until early spring; this varies by location, but most mating takes place during February and March. The pair may undertake a number of different behaviors, including bumping, chasing, and ambushing. Other males may be in attendance, but remain uninvolved. Once the male recognizes that the female is receptive, he grasps her in the typical felid neck grip. The female may later go on to mate with other males, and males will generally mate with several females. During courtship, the otherwise silent Bobcat may let out loud screams, hisses, or other sounds. Research in Texas has suggested that establishing a home range is necessary for breeding; studied animals with no set range had no identified offspring. The female has an estrous cycle of 44 days, with the estrus lasting five to ten days. Bobcats remain reproductively active throughout their lives.
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. They will be hunting by themselves by fall of their first year and usually disperse shortly thereafter. In Michigan, however, they have been observed staying with their mother as late as the next spring. (Wikipedia)

What are a bobcat's instincts?
Asked by Wiki User
The Bobcat is crepuscular (generally most active at twilight and dawn). It keeps on the move from three hours before sunset until about midnight, and then again from before dawn until three hours after sunrise. Each night it will move from 2 to 7 miles (3-11 km) along its habitual route. This behavior may vary seasonally, as Bobcats become more diurnal during fall and winter. This is a response to the activity of their prey, which are more active during the day in colder months.

Do humans hunt bobcats for their fur?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, the laws allowing for the legal trapping and hunting of the Bobcat vary greatly depending on where you are, and what species of Bobcat is targeted. Some are still protected, while others live in protected preserves. The Bobcats not protected depend on the public's general attitude towards traps, and trapping, no matter the risk to all. The chances are good that the local wildlife officials will issue permits to hunt and trap the Bobcats removed from the endangered species list. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
