Explanation:
The Bobcat, or red lynx, (Lynx rufus) with his grey to brown coat, whiskered face and black-tufted ears resembles the other species of the mid-sized Lynx genus, though it is smaller than the Canada Lynx, with which it shares parts of its range. It is about twice as large as the domestic cat and it derives its name from the black-tipped stubby tail.
The Bobcat resembles other species of the Lynx genus but is on average the smallest of the four. It is believed to have evolved from the Eurasian lynx, which crossed into North America. Its coat is variable, though generally tan to grey and reddish brown (that’s why it is also called Red Lynx), with black streaks on the body and dark bars on the forelegs and tail. Its spotted patterning acts as camouflage. The ears are black-tipped and pointed, with short black tufts. There is generally an off-white color on the lips, chin, and underparts. Bobcats in the desert regions of the southwest have the lightest colored coats, while those in the northern, forested regions are darkest. Kittens are born well-furred and already have their spots. A few melanistic Bobcats have been sighted and captured in Florida. They appear black, but may actually still exhibit a spot pattern.
The face appears wide due to ruffs of extended hair beneath the ears. The fur is brittle but quite long and dense. The nose of the Bobcat is pinkish-red, and it has a base color of gray or yellowish- or brownish-red on its face, sides, and back. Bobcat eyes are yellow with black pupils. The pupils are round black circles and will widen during nocturnal activity to maximize light reception. The cat has sharp hearing and vision, and a good sense of smell. It is an excellent climber, and will swim when it needs to, but will normally avoid water. With twelve recognized subspecies the North American member of the cat family, Felidae, ranges from Southern Canada to Northern Mexico, including most of the continental United States. Although Bobcats have been hunted extensively by humans, both for sport and fur, their population has proven resilient. They are adaptable predators inhabiting wooded areas as well as semi-desert, urban edge, forest edges and swampland environment.
