“As bobcats return to New England following decades of conservation and forest regrowth, biologists want to learn more about what these mysterious wild cats are up to.

So using tools like GPS collars, Hawley and his team are examining bobcat diets and fertility rates, trying to unravel how the cats act in the wild, and increasingly, in our backyard.

‘Are bobcats in more urban areas using different habitat? Or different resources?’ Hawley said, comparing the city cats to their more rural counterparts. ‘Are they using it at different times of the day? Are they moving at different times?’”
