Bobcat (
Lynx rufus) and cub.
The Bobcat roams freely at night and is frequently abroad during the day except at the peak of summer. It does not dig its own den. If a crevice or a cave is not available, it will den in a dense thicket of brush or sometimes choose a hollow in a log or a tree. The Bobcat is more versatile than its cousin, the Canada lynx, because it will eat other prey if its preffered source of food (rabbits and hares) is not available. It is found in a broad range of habitats from the Cananda/U.S.A boarder all the way down through Mexico, although it can no longer be found in certain eastern and midwestern states. They are curious, but they are very shy and never come up to people.
African Golden Cat (
Profelis aurata)
The African Gold Cat has never been studied and little is known of its behavior. It may hunt in trees to some extent, but it probably hunts mainly on the ground. It is primarily found in the moist forest zone of Equatorial Africa.
Asiatic Golden Cat (
Catopuma Temmicki)
Also known as Temmick's Cat, very little is known about this cat. It is primarily nocturnal, and preys mainly on large rodents. They can be found in forest and grasslands. It is found in southern China and southeast Asia.
