2. Bobcat (Lynx rufus)
Looks like: Large ears, short tail, brown fur with black spots.
Found in: All parts of the U.S. except for certain parts of the midwest. The bobcat can live in forests, deserts, mountains, swamps and farmland.
Endangered in the U.S.? Not listed, which means it is an abundant and wide-ranging species.
Fun fact: "Bobcats are incredibly resourceful and have a widely varied diet depending upon the food sources near them," says Susan Bass, director of public relations at Big Cat Rescue. "Northern bobcats are stockier and have thicker coats in order to endure cold temperatures."
