Bobcat (Felis rufus).
The bobcat is secretive as well as curious. It has keen eyesight and hearing that enable it to ambush its prey. It is a small cat, wieghing (error - should be weighing) approximately 20 pounds and its 6-inch tail accounts for its name. Its tufts of hair rising from its ears are used as a form of communication with other bobcats.

# 6674 Bobcat (Felis rufus).
The young bobcat will leave its range of birth at 11 months and will seek out a range of its own. A bobcat mother has been known to abandon her young because of the scarcity of food for her and her kittens. Its ability to adapt to habitat and diet has made it possible for it to survive from swampland to wooded mountainsides.

The University of Kentucky has three official mascots:
Blue — A live bobcat. He lives at the state-operated Salato Wildlife Education Center near the state capital of Frankfort. Unlike the school's two costumed mascots, he never attends games, because bobcats are very shy by nature and do not react well with large crowds.
The Wildcat — A costumed student, he made his debut in the 1976–77 school year.
Scratch — A later addition, he is a more child-friendly version of The Wildcat.
