🐈Bobcat
گربۀ دم‌کوتاه (نام علمی: Lynx rufus) که با نام وَشَق سرخ (red lynx) نیز شناخته می‌شود، گربه‌ای با جثۀ متوسط و بومی آمریکای شمالی است. زیستگاه این گونه از جنوب کانادا و سرزمین اصلی ایالات متحده گرفته تا اواکساکا در مکزیک را شامل می‌شود. به دلیل پراکندگی گسترده و جمعیت بالا، از سال 2002 نام آن به عنوان گونه‌ای با کمترین نگرانی در فهرست سرخ اتحادیه بین‌المللی حفاظت از طبیعت ثبت شده است. با اینکه به طور گسترده هم برای تفریح و هم با هدف تولید خز شکار می‌شود جمعیت آن ثابت بوده است. اگرچه در برخی مناطق جمعیت رو به کاهش است.
