Arizona – Sonora Desert Museum: Bobcats of Arizona – Elusive Predators of the Desert

Explore the fascinating world of the Bobcats of Arizona in this engaging and educational program!

Bobcats (Lynx rufus) are one of the most elusive and adaptable predators in the American Southwest, thriving in diverse habitats ranging from desert scrub to mountainous regions. This program delves into their biology, behavior, and the unique challenges they face in Arizona’s harsh yet beautiful landscape. What sets this class apart is the invaluable firsthand observations of Steve Vaughan, whose accounts go beyond what’s readily available in published materials. There will be an optional fieldtrip to the Sweetwater Wetlands, home to some of our local Tucson bobcats on Thursday, March 20th.
