noun
zoology
A wild cat of North America with a short tail, tufted ears and a spotted brown coat.
The bobcat is roughly twice the size of a house cat and lives in forests, swamps and desert scrub from southern Canada to Mexico. It hunts rabbits, rodents and birds, usually at dusk, and keeps to itself, so people seldom see one. The name refers to the stubby, bobbed tail, which distinguishes it from its larger relative the lynx.
