Oregon Natural Desert Association conserves the most wild, spectacular and ecologically important public lands in Oregon’s high desert, including treasured landscapes such as the John Day River Basin, Steens Mountain, the Greater Hart-Sheldon and the Owyhee Canyonlands. Our solutions-oriented and inclusive conservation initiatives support a thriving future for lands, waters, wildlife and communities throughout eastern Oregon.

Bobcat

Bobcat

Found only in North America, where it is the most common wildcat, the bobcat takes its common name from its stubby, or “bobbed,” tail. The cats range in length from two to four feet and weigh 14 to 29 pounds. Bobcats mainly hunt rabbits and hares, but they will also eat rodents, birds, bats, and even adult deer.

Latin name: Lynx rufus fasciatus
