The most common wildcat in North America is the bobcat, named for its short black, white-tipped tail. Despite its striking resemblance to the housecat, the bobcat is a fierce predator that ranges throughout North America, even here in Washtenaw County! Come learn all about these danger kitties with naturalist Elle Bogle, then take a short nature walk to look for bobcat prey and make a bobcat track of your own to take home.
