Home range and diet of bobcats in eastern Tennessee

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5501741

Interest in the status of the bobcat (Lynx rufus rufus) on the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Reservation has stemmed concomitantly from a desire to learn more of the habits of this animal and to monitor the effects of anthropogenic activities on these habits. We have begun a long-term program to acquire data on home ranges, population density, habitat usage, spatial distribution of individuals, movement patterns, predator-prey interaction and food habits.
