Adults usually weigh between 15 and 35 pounds and have distinctive tufted ears and whiskered faces. Primarily nocturnal, they are skilled hunters, preying on rabbits, birds, and other small animals. Despite their elusive nature, bobcats often leave signs of their presence through tracks and markings. Conservation efforts continue to play a crucial role in maintaining bobcat populations amid habitat fragmentation and other ecological threats.:
