Bobcats are a North American cat that appeared during the Irvingtonian stage of around 1.8 million years ago. The majority of the bobcat’s diet consists of rabbit and hares, with a smaller percentage of rodents, such as squirrels and mice. Attacks by bobcats on humans are rare. Normally if a bobcat approaches a human or seems aggressive it is most likely sick or rabid. Source: wikipedia.com. Photo by Fr. Glenn Jones Read More
