How do you know when a bobcat will attack?
As with any wild animal you should always keep your distance. Making your self look big, loud shouts, and aggressive movements will generally scare off a Bobcat. If that doesn't work then the next course of action would be to defend yourself either with a weapon or hiding if possible. If it's just a sighting then notify your local wildlife agency and have date, time, location, and possible prey sources (small dogs, domestic cats, livestock, etc.) information to give them. Bobcats are "scaredy cats" most of the time unless provoked, frightened, or near their litter.

What endangers bobcats survival?
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.
all lizards mostly eat the same such as crickets or other small insects

Cougars, also known as pumas, mountain lions and panthers, are territorial and therefore hunt and travel alone....
Cougars do not hunt in packs. They are the most widely distributed land mammals in the Western Hemisphere other than humans, but they prefer to hunt their prey alone, which consists of meat.
The cougar is a carnevorous and is capable of killing prey up to the size of elk, however white-tailed deer, mule deer, marsh deer, peccary, and guanaco are the most common items of their diet.
What colors does a bobcat have?
Color base ranges anywhere from cream to fawn to grey, with charcoal overtones and black spots. Spots can be smutty and barely distinguishable, or clear and distinct, depending on the individual cat and their habitat.
there aren't supposed to be. supposedly the last wolf killed in Ohio was in 1842. http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/entry.php?rec=1132
however, there are numerous eyewitness reports cropping up (ex: http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/entry.php?rec=1132)
my parents saw a wolf in their yard in columbiana county, Ohio.
also, there have been wolves kept as pets or at research/educational facilities, or in transportation, that could escape and thrive for a time..
A mountain lions physicall characteristics are running to catch their prey and eating their prey.
No. They can, but they don't, normally. A cougar would much rather go after deer than another animal that can fight back as well as it can.
Prices for Bobcat equipment vary greatly by the size and abilities of the machine.
To buy the animal, you will have to have the proper licenses first, then find someone willing to sell. In many cases it is done between zoos for trades.
How much babies does a bobcat have at a time?
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)
