Summary

Bobcats truly are North America's cat. From southern Canada to northern Mexico, bobcats inhabit forests, deserts, and swamps. Although they have been hunted and trapped for more than 200 years, there may be as many as 1.5 million bobcats in North America. In fact, there are more bobcats now than there were when the colonists first settled the continent. Elusive and mysterious, this beautiful animal is rarely seen in the wild. In this fascinating book, chock full of facts and stunning full-color photos, Stephen Swinburne puts us on the trail of the bobcat, examining its behavior, hunting techniques, and habitat, and the cat's special abilities to survive.
