Florida Bobcat

Florida bobcats are highly adaptable animals and can be found in a variety of habitats, including forests, deserts, swamps, and even urban areas. They are solitary animals that establish territories ranging from 1 to 12 square miles, depending on the availability of food and resources. They are skilled hunters with a keen sense of sight and hearing. They primarily hunt small mammals such as rabbits, rodents, and birds, but they are also capable of taking down larger prey such as small deer and even adult turkeys.

There are six bobcats that live at the sanctuary;  two males and four females. Three inhabit the left side of the enclosure and three on the right side. Four of the bobcats were kept illegally as pets. One has cerebellar hypoplasia or wobbly cat syndrome and another has metabolic bone disease.

Poppy Says

Florida bobcats get their name from their tail that appears "bobbed," or cut short.
