About the Bobcat
Also known as Lynx Rufus, or the Red Lynx, the bobcat has a conservation status of Least Concern. The cat is native to the Southern Canada, the United States, and Northern Mexico. Additionally, it is the smallest of the lynx species, with the other lynxes being the Canadian, Iberian, and Eurasian lynx.
Other Facts About the Bobcat:
- The bobcat is a skilled, carnivorous hunter with keen eyes and ears. An opportunistic predator, it preys on rodents, rabbits, birds, fish, snakes, lizards, deer, and livestock, and sometimes even other carnivores.
- Bobcats are solitary animals with excellent climbing and sprinting abilities.
- Adults have an average size of 26-41 inches (head and body), with the bobbed tail (from which it gets its name) measuring about 4-7 inches. The bobcat is a medium-sized wild cat, and though it is on the smaller side when compared with its other North American cousins, the Canadian Lynx and Cougar (also known as the Puma or Mountain Lion), it’s still approximately twice the size of the average housecat.
- The bobcat is a fearless animal and is sometimes referred to as “the spitfire of the animal kingdom.” It is no wonder then, that this feisty cat makes an eye-catching taxidermy display.

If you’re a hunter and you have a bobcat you need mounted, you’ll need to freeze it if you’re not able to mount it right away. However, leaving it frozen for more than six months will leave the bobcat vulnerable to having its thin ears freezer burnt. In this case, you should skin the bobcat before (we recommend having your taxidermist skin it for you to ensure best results). When in doubt, talk with your taxidermist about proper steps to take for freezing your bobcat.
