The bobcat is twice the size of the average cat, but can kill larger animals. It is a highly adaptable, elusive, predator that inhabits wooded areas, deserts and mountains. It can be found from Canada to Mexico. The Lynx Rufus is active at dusk and night. The bobcat has exceptional hearing. Eats small animals, birds and reptiles.

The Florida Panther is currently an endangered species of cougar that resides in the southern forests and swamps of Florida. While it is a species of the cougar, it is identified as a panther to be able to clearly distinguish between the other southernmost species of cougar in the United States. The Florida Panther is a carnivore with a diet based on the animals native to their region such as deer, wild hogs, and other small game like rabbits or raccoons. Normally they are solitary animals, their homes range from 75-150 square miles of terrain, and while some homes may overlap it will not be by a lot. This overlap normally comes from females, for mating reasons but due to them being solitary, they are extremely aggressive towards other males

The panda of the sea is in danger. The local Southern Resident Killer Whale J,K, and L pods population is disintegrating quickly. This is due to habitat destruction, reproductive issues, and a limited food supply. All of these factors are causing the Southern Resident Killer Whale population in the Pacific Northwest to decrease drastically and now they are a species that is listed under the Endangered Species Act. According to whale researcher Ken Balcomb, “The SRKW population was declared Endangered under the US Endangered Species Act in 2005, and earlier this year it was listed as a “species in the spotlight” by NOAA for its lack of recovery since then”(Balcomb). With recent deaths of J28 and her calf J54, many whale activist have been pushing

     Tigers are the biggest member of the cat family, with lions coming in at a close second. Their paw pads are very sensitive and are easily damaged, which prevents them from following prey that may wonder on such things as rocks that are hot. Another interesting fact about the tiger is that there are no white tigers left in the wild, only in captivity. On top of that, all of the white tigers in captivity came from the same female, which was caught in 1952. White tigers are not true albinos because they lack pink eyes; theirs are blue. Tigers and lions have actually mated in captivity. The offspring of a male tiger and a female lion is called a Tigon, and offspring of a male lion and a female tiger is called a Liger.

You may of heard of the fierce Jaguar before, but maybe not these facts like I am about to tell you. Like how the estimated amount in the in world at the moment or how big they can get, let’s dive in! As of 2016 there are 15,000 Jaguar’s worldwide. These cats may not have the biggest population but they are the third biggest cats in the world behind the lion and the tiger. These huge cats, on average, are 4 meters long with a shoulder width of 2 ft. Jaguar’s can grow up to 2-2.5 ft. tall. A Jaguar can weigh from 100 to a staggering 250 lbs. Sometimes Jaguar’s take on some of the biggest animals such as a bear! The Jaguar has many names such as, “Panthera Onca”, “Yaguar” which was given by the Native Americans, and “He kills with one leap”.

Many of its marshes, cypresses, and mangroves cover the majority of the wetland and an estimated number of 50 reptile species and 40 mammal species currently residing are either endangered, or worse, threatened for extinction. The Florida Panther, according to the National Park Service, has a successful breeding population; nonetheless, the “primary threats to the remaining population are habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation” (para. 2). Due to the ongoing urban development, the panther became a well-known endangered human threat. An estimated 80-120 panthers are surviving

have 24-32 molars in the back of their mouths. The front molars are worn away

Never has a black panther been documented in North America. Adult males can reach a length of seven feet from their nose to the tip of their nose. On average, adult males are around 116 lbs and females weigh around 75 lbs. Kittens are usually grak with dark brown or blackish spots and five bands around their tail. As they get older, the spots will fade and almost completely go away at six months old. Their bright blue eyes slowly turn to the light brown straw color around the same time. A plan for genetic restoration and management of the Florida Panther was developed in september 1994. Where non-pregnant adult female texas pumas were released in areas of South Florida from March to July 1995. The introgression has decreased the rates of genetic defects of Florida Panthers. For Reproduction, most activity occurs from December to March with most births occurring between May and June. Primarily panthers hunt white-tailed deer and feral hogs for prey. Feral hogs are consumed more in the north, while white-tailed deer are consumed more in the

The leopardus pardalis, or the ocelot, also known as the dwarf leopard, has been endangered since 1982 and is protected by the Endangered Species Act (FWS, 2010). Ocelots have been declared a federally endangered species (Tewes, 2001). They are native to South and Central America as well as Mexico (FWS, 2010). Texas is a far north as the wild cat has been found, but a few have been noted to have lived in Arizona and Louisiana in the past (Campbell, 2003, Moore, 2013). A feature that denotes it from other cats is the parallel striping descending down the neck and above the eyes. It is a medium sized cat with body size resembling the bobcat, weighing between 24 and 35 pounds when full grown (FWS, 2010).

The Florida panther is becoming close to extinction. The Florida panther is a subspecies of the cougar that lives in forests and swamps in southwest Florida. They primarily eat white-tailed deer, rabbits, birds and other small animals. Panthers are mostly active between dawn and dusk. Kittens rarely survive that’s why the panther is endangered and becoming close to extinction. The alert level for this issue is a high alert level for these animals because as the years go on the panther population is getting lower.

Bobcat also scientifically known as Lynx Rufus is most common in the United States, but it is also common in Northern Mexico and Southern Canada. I had the opportunity to observe this animal in Northern Mexico where I learned a lot of things about it. I selected Lynx Rufus because of their uniqueness in different areas and the fact that they remain a threatened species and, therefore it is important to get more information about it.

Mating happens usually during the months of February and March. The cats will select dens that provide relative safety, such as rocky crags or in heavy underbrush. Females give birth to one to four young. The kittens will be

Lynx Rufus, commonly known as the bobcat, can be found in all the diverse habitats of Arkansas. They get their name from their tail, which is short and appears to be "bobbed." Bobcats are nocturnal, therefore rarely seen by humans. According to National Geographic, they prowl through most of North America and can adapt easily in different environments such as swamps, forests, deserts, and sometimes even suburban areas ("Bobcats"). Bobcats are ferocious predators, being able to kill game much larger than them, although they tend to eat smaller prey. Most of these cats are solitary and occupy about 25 square miles during their life. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission states that mothers go into dens when birthing her litter. The cubs are born
