Daily Postcard: Bobcat Stares At Camera In Bandelier
Daily Postcard: A bobcat lays in a shaded area and stares at the camera Tuesday in Bandelier National Monument. Named for their short “bobbed” tail, bobcats can weigh up to 40 lbs. They primarily eat rodents, rabbits and birds … but they will also scavenge on the kills of mountain lions. They are found throughout Bandelier.
