30. Wild Cats

Are there wild cats roaming around where you live? We have seen bobcats on our farm and some neighbors once saw a mountain lion. These sneaky creatures don't necessarily like to be seen by humans, though, as they wander through various habitats in North America looking for food, water, mates, and places to take shelter. In the episode, learn which big and small wild cats live in North America. Have fun thinking about cats through the lens of adjectives, too!
