\nBobcats, nocturnal hunters, can be found in almost every state of the union, but most people have never seen one, except maybe in a zoo. They inhabit the borderlands, hunting small prey like mice, squirrels, possums and rabbits. Unlike the Lynx, the other small North American wild cat, which will only hunt rabbit, the bobcat will eat almost anything which helps ensure its survival. They are a strikingly beautiful animal, but like most other wild cats, they are extremely misunderstood.
\nThe bobcat is not an animal to be feared, experts guess there are a million of them in the USA, they are very skittish and like to chase small things not huge towering creatures like humans.
\nThis is a 4″ x 6″ watercolor painting I did to help a kickstarter project,
\nThe California Bay Area Bobcat Connectivity Project<\/a> If you buy this painting, I will donate the money to this project.<\/p>\n

This painting is for sale, $60.00 all proceeds go to benefit wildcats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
