About
A medium-sized North American wild cat that grows roughly twice the size of a typical domestic house cat.
The bobcat is the smallest of the four species in the Lynx genus, weighing roughly half as much as the Eurasian lynx. Adult males are usually about one-third larger and heavier than females. Because of their long hind legs, dense fur, and broad paws, these cats often appear noticeably bigger at first glance than their actual weight suggests.
From Wikipedia
The bobcat, also known as the wildcat, bay lynx, or red lynx, is one of the four extant species within the medium-sized wild cat genus Lynx. Native to North America, it ranges from southern Canada through most of the contiguous United States to Oaxaca in Mexico.
