Flora & Fauna
Bobcat (Lynx rufus texensis). Named so because of their short 'bob' tails. Bobcats exist throughout most of the United States. southern Canada, and northern half of Mexico. They are abundant in Texas, and are a subspecies, with 12 subspecies found throughout the United States. They are closely related to the Lynx, highly adaptive, and can thrive in urban areas. Bobcats have no protections, and habitat loss is the biggest threat. Bobcats can weight up to 25 pounds, and eat mostly small animals such as rats, squirrels, mice, and rabbits. Females typically produce a litter of 3 kittens, and remain with the mother for about 6 months. Their ranges can be 25 miles for males, and only a few miles for females (Source: TexasNativeCats.org).
