Everything You Wanted to Know About Tucson's Bobcats — Cheryl Mollohan
The bobcat population in Southern Arizona is unique. Our bobcats don't just live along the urban/rural edges of our region; they are heavily integrated into the human population across Greater Tucson. Wildlife biologist Cheryl Mollohan will update the hiking club about a recently completed four-year research project on bobcats. The study, which included significant involvement from citizen scientists across Tucson, captured 56 different bobcats and placed satellite radio collars on 38 of them. The data collected from the collars allowed scientists to compile an array of maps, charts and data summaries into a final report.
