Bobcats are fairly average compared to other members of the lynx genus. The exception is the Eurasian Lynx, found primarily in Northern Europe and Russia, which can grow up to twice as large.
***** Me too. I think Floridas bobcats have adapted to living near humans more so than some other areas cats have. It is almost uncommon to have not seen a bobcat if you're in Florida for long enough. :)
People see them out here in Arizona all the time. We get them in the suburbs in our backyards and neighborhood washes. Because we live near the mountains in the desert where I am.
I have TWO bobcas. they are both 15 years old. never harmed anyone. the best friends and best pets in the world!! if you love your pets and treat them well they love and treat you the same. whether its a dog a moose or an emu
I've seen two in the woods; one was was trailing behind a flock of turkeys in the morning and the other rushed a group of squirrels still on the ground at dusk. Very stealthy creatures, often you don't see them until they make their move.
Technically yes, but I don't recommend them as pets. They can become quite aggressive. I'll work on a Red Tailed Hawk video for you. Thanks for watching.
See wildcats all the time in my yard. Personally I think Foxes are absolutely gorgeous animals. I spend all day sometimes just staring into the foliage, not for animals, just peaceful
I seen a lynx back about 1984 in Northern Alberta Canada. It was at the side of the road and I stopped the car and got out and looked at it. It never moved. I had no camera so I got back in the car and drove on. Another time I seen a mountain lion leaping across the road a bit ahead of the car. The clearing was about 20 feet or so on each side of the road and as I recall it effortlessly bounded the (estimated 70 feet) in about 3 leaps. It was amazing.
It's October here in Florida and I've been turkey hunting. While calling in turkey a bobcat came charging right toward me. Went out 3 days later to bait for deer and jumped either a second bobcat or the same one. Lol
@@mikehutchings1567 That could apply to either gender. I have a Ph.D in bitch and sarcasm but I'm also a good cook and can be very domestic when the mood suits me.
Thank you very much! The lynx species is extensive and was quite successful apparently! (Other than the Iberian Lynx, whose decline is almost certainly thanks to man in one way or another). Thankyou for providing a clear breakdown of thier entire family! Very helpful!
Bobcats *are* lynxes. Lynx is a genus, not a species. The lynx genus contains the bobcat, eurasian lynx, iberian lynx, and canadian link. The proper scientific name for the bobcat is lynx rufus. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx
A normal house cat can scare a black bear away if it's pissed . It'll also bite real hard and if it wraps its front paws on you it'll shred your shin clean off with its back legs . I love all cats . If you don't believe me watch two feral cats in a disagreement and picture one of your limbs in there lol . There are so many types too from house cats to Lions ... Crazy !
jquest43 Bears ... eat cats ? Lol 😂. Maybe kittens in bad times. Baby deer and baby moose ... yes in bad times. Mostly berries, nuts and fish. Human food and garbage. Bears are pretty fast but not cat fast lol Polar bear will eat anything . Cats are fast, fearless when pissed or defending itself are not to be messed with . A pack of Coyotes where a cat is outnumber it will get out of there of course. A declawed cat is pretty defenceless so that’s why it is against the law now to do that in our country 🇨🇦
@@pushpushlambert8079 a" cat is fearless?" A "pack" of coyotes?? It only takes 1 SMALL coyote to eat a cat. Any bear will catch and shred a housecat. Youre watching too many cartoons,Bambi.
jquest43 😄A single Coyote would be very lucky to catch a cat ... since cats can climb almost anything . Their diet is quiet the same actually ... mostly rodents, small birds, fish and of course human food .,. 👍🏻🇨🇦
Great video - I see all these little guys in the woods and hills all over Monterey and Santa Clara county. I sometimes see them with coyotes too - they almost seem to be hanging out with coyotes at times.....?
At 00:23 this guy gives advice that" if you see a Bobcat like this in the woods you don't want to go up to him like this. There no always this nice" ..... NO SHIT LOL
I owned a bobcat and he was never rough with people as this one . My young daughter and niece would put doll clothes on him and drag him around the house . The only time he became defensive was around dogs or when feeding raw meat , but domestic cats do the same , but are much less intimidating .
James Dunn We have lynx here in Canada too. Keep the grouse, partridge and hare/rabbits in check. Geese too. Awesome predators. See lots of track and kill sites but rare to see the actual cats.
Kitteh does seem happy there. Where most humans tend to make the pet mistake is in that our four-legged brethren are not lesser forms over which we have "dominion", but rather are our peers, and when treated as such can become fast friends. I do not "own pets", I have four-legged friends.
My Collie and I came across a bobcat right here in one of our protected areas in Northern Colorado and he looked at us and he was so Majestic so beautiful never snarl that has never attempted to jump at us but he was only about 25 feet away too
Hi Jeff: Just watched your video about the rescued bobcat. I rescued a tame, adult bobcat in 1972. She was someone's pet that had somehow escaped from her owner. Her front paws had been declawed, she was wearing a thin brown collar with no ID tag. She had been shot in the right hind leg and was in very poor condition. We tried to find her owner to no avail , so she remained with us as a beloved friend for twenty years. I am a wildlife artist and Brighton Publishing has just released a book about our family's adventures with this amazing and beautiful bobcat. I do make it very clear in the book that these animals belong in their wild habitat, protected by the proper state and federal laws. The book is entitled: "OUR FRIEND PRECIOUS THE BOBCAT," It is available in e-book, and Amazon.com & Barnes & Noble.com. May thanks for your work with wildlife.

so are bobcats and lynx's like brown bear and grizzlies in a way, ya know like pretty much the same thing just different names because of their different locations. seems like they could breed well and have healthy offspring am I right?
Out of all the captive lynx/bobcat videos this cat definitely looks the happiest. Wish people would learn that they do not make good pets. Nice vid!
I love cats. I love bobcats. Thanks for sharing.
I love them too...
@@tommilingle3159 I Love Bobcats And Lynxes 😻😻
But do you love Bob?
I love Sponge Bob better.
Fantastic animals. In 35 years in the USA, I've never seen one in the wild. But I've always lived in big cities.
You call that cat small? He is YUUGE!
Settle down Donnie.
Bobcats are fairly average compared to other members of the lynx genus. The exception is the Eurasian Lynx, found primarily in Northern Europe and Russia, which can grow up to twice as large.
I'll work on getting a skunk video up. They are cool animals indeed! Thanks for watching.
"I'm wearing a glove because it is a big-ass cat and it wants to tear stuff to pieces!!!".
My gosh. I didn't believe that this cat was a dog-killer until I saw how big it was in this video 😧. What a formidable mini-cougar
Extremely rare to see in the wild, they are mostly nocturnal and very skilled at hiding.
***** Me too. I think Floridas bobcats have adapted to living near humans more so than some other areas cats have. It is almost uncommon to have not seen a bobcat if you're in Florida for long enough. :)
I was lucky enough to see one cross a trail I was walking in CA.
People see them out here in Arizona all the time. We get them in the suburbs in our backyards and neighborhood washes. Because we live near the mountains in the desert where I am.
Now that's a Big Buddy! Beautiful Bobcat.
Pretty kitty. We have bobcats all around us in southern AZ, but they aren't as healthy looking as this guy.
I have TWO bobcas. they are both 15 years old. never harmed anyone. the best friends and best pets in the world!! if you love your pets and treat them well they love and treat you the same. whether its a dog a moose or an emu
Or a scorpion.
Wooo, that is a big boy, damn. Beautiful, simply beautiful!

Poosey tats are the craziest people...

Awesome creatures, I feel blessed to even get one on a game camera at my property in Darlington, SC, pretty elusive animals.
kitties are so pretty
He's so gorgeous. I love him 😍
Very handsome cat, nice coloring and a great coat of fur!
so cute, i wanna cuddle it :)

But most importantly
*he wild cat*
he speak inglish to
these are so beautiful cats
Jeez, slow down and take a breather Jeff.
he sniffed a bag of cocaine before this video..
@@eddeesalce Probably to tolerate the cats power, lol
So beautiful, they look like a bigger version of a domestic cat!
Quite a bit bigger and much more aggressive.
@@bflo1000 Yes that's true!
They really are gorgeous
YES THEY ARE SMART. MY friend HAS ONE. LOVE BOBCATS
Excellent! That one is huge! We've got one in our area. I've seen the tracks and others have seen it, but not me -- yet...
Bobcats are just so awsome as all big cats are and I feel for the ones in captivity or needing to be kept safe because they were hand raised.
such a pretty face and beautiful animal :)
Technically yes, but I don't recommend them as pets. They can become quite aggressive. I'll work on a Red Tailed Hawk video for you. Thanks for watching.

How can something be so cute and deadly at the same time!!!...
Because a bobcat is a predator. A housecat is only friendly to its human caretakers.
have you never been married

They aren't as deadly as people.

Pretty damn cool! I have many videos of these ferousious guys in the wild they are definitly impressive!

Thanks Jeff! - a beautiful Bobcat and a determined glove hunter!! (hope that glove was thick :-)
What a cool Cat, your lucky like that in America.
just look at those Giant paws!

I want a whole body suit like that glove so I can snuggle the bobcat.
beautiful animal
Beautiful!
Cool. Bobcats are great beings. Greater than almost all humans.
Beautiful animal!
Lovely cat
Bobcats are more than "pretty good hunters". They are perfectly evolved predators.
James Dunn We have lynx here in Canada too. Keep the grouse, partridge and hare/rabbits in check. Geese too. Awesome predators. See lots of track and kill sites but rare to see the actual cats.
an example of God's most amazing creation. Amazing is a word over used, but the flora and fauna of this planet is truly wonderful.
u'r right. God loves beautiful killers
aww so cute
They is wild! How's life in the great white north?
IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!
Montana? Nah, definitely from Athens, Ohio!
Go Bobcats!
Good video, Jeff. Don't let the bobcat chew on your glove; that teaches him to do that all the time, then he becomes difficult to handle.

Beautiful and interesting video. Thank you for uploading.
I've only heard them screaming and it's sounds like a human is screaming. There scream woke me up at a campground.
Probably a fisher cat or fox.
Gorgeous cat!
THat's one BIG bobcat.. Out here in B.C. they're pretty small..
imagine a bobcat with lion tail , oh how amazing
"It´s a baahbcat!"
i missed you jeff!
love the cat!
Better pet a bobcat cougar or tiger?
That's a fair size kitty.
He BIG kit-tee.
Beautiful ❤️ it.

thanks for info :) love bobcats
Beautiful and a deadly wild animal...Statement made from experience....
You Want NO PART of a Full Fledged Angry Bobcat
very nice video I learned some things.
in montana there are people that breed them and sell them like normal cats. if you get one young and treat it right itll be a lifelong friend
Yay!! Hey jeff the zoo guy, i love you vids :D post some more
thats beautiful
Well done, Jeff, good man.
its like a baby male lion .. so cool
so are bobcats and lynx's like brown bear and grizzlies in a way, ya know like pretty much the same thing just different names because of their different locations. seems like they could breed well and have healthy offspring am I right?
Awesome cat! :'3
Beautiful cat. It appears he/she has been de clawed.
He clearly states it's female. Oh wait, there's no gender anymore. This cat must be a "they"
is it the Bobcat can be treated as a household pet? I mean Here in Philippines we don't have like that we only have here is a common cats
Nice video Jeff
