females 5.8-9.2 kg. Their class of Mammalia (mammal) means that they are nourished with milk from the special
mammary glands of the mother. The bobcat is a warm-blooded mammal with vertebrae.
Behavior
The bobcat is a stealthy predator who stalks its prey as silently as possible, then leaps onto its prey, killing it. With
migration it only goes about 1.6 to ten kilometers and will do this mainly because of their prey moving. The bobcat,
as a carnivore, can eat 3 lbs of meat at a time. The bobcat eats over fifty animals, according to studies that were done
in South Florida, Arizona, Montana, and the Sonoran Desert.
