Tufted Bobcat in a Conifer Forest

A wild bobcat sits perched on a fallen log deep within a dense forest of evergreen conifers. Distinctive black ear tufts highlight the head of the cat as it rests upon the fallen timber.

Forest Survival Skills of North American Bobcats

Bobcats take their name from their short, stubby tail, which looks as though it has been cut short or bobbed. Their black ear tufts act like delicate antennae that enhance hearing and help detect faint movements in the surrounding forest brush. Falling trees create natural elevated platforms where bobcats can sunbathe and search for small mammals.

True Colors of Bobcats and Evergreen Woods

  • Bobcat coat: reddish-brown to grayish-brown with subtle dark spots and streaks
  • Ear tufts: jet black fur tips with prominent white spots on the back of the ears
  • Underbelly fur: soft white with black spots
  • Fallen log: dark brown bark with patches of damp green moss
  • Conifer needles: deep pine green or muted spruce gray
