1 ­– On right margin of image, walking to left.  [Single bobcat:  this partial view of the anterior end depicts the characteristic rusty brown coat with prominent darker spotting.  The black tipped ears with a white patch on their rear are also visible as are forelegs that are proportionately longer than those of a typical domestic cat.  Images immediately surrounding this particular one show a more clearly defined bobcat.]

2 ­– On left margin of image, walking to left.  [Single bobcat:  this partial view of the posterior end depicts the characteristic stubby tail with a black upper surface towards its tip.  Images immediately surrounding this particular one show a more clearly defined bobcat.]

3 ­– Behind center of pile, walking to left.  [Single bobcat: obscured by pile material.  This partial view of the dorsal surface depicts the characteristic rusty brown coat with prominent darker spotting.  The short, black tipped tail is also seen.  Images surrounding this particular one show a more clearly defined bobcat.]
