## Caption

We love a wild Friday night…⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Bigger than your average housecat, bobcats (Lynx rufus) roam throughout Nevada’s Great Basin National Park. Named after their short & stubby ‘bobbed’ tails, bobcats are some of the smaller carnivores in the park, but they’re widely known for their adaptability, smarts, and ferociousness.⁣⁣
⁣
P.S. Not all bobcats are named Bob. Some prefer Robert. ⁣
