The tracks range in size from 25–75 mm (1–3 in); the average is about 45 mm (1 + 3 ⁄ 4 in). [42] When walking or trotting, the tracks are spaced roughly 20 to 45 cm (8 to 18 in) apart. The bobcat can make great strides when running, often from 1.2–2.4 m (4–8 ft).
Typha latifolia is a perennial, herbaceous flowering wetland plant in the family Typhaceae.It is known commonly as bulrush [4] [5] (sometimes as common bulrush, [6] to distinguish from other species of Typha); in North America, it is often referred to as broadleaf cattail, or simply as cat-tail or cattail reed.

The American Bobtail is an uncommon breed of domestic cat which was developed in the late 1960s. [1] It is most notable for its stubby "bobbed" tail about one-third to one-half the length of a normal cat's tail. This is the result of a cat body type genetic mutation affecting the tail development, similar to that of a Manx cat. [1]
The length from the nose to the base of the tail varies from 1.12 to 1.85 m (3 ft 8 in to 6 ft 1 in). The tail is 45 to 75 cm (18 to 30 in) long and the shortest of any big cat. [38] Its muscular legs are shorter than the legs of other Panthera species with similar body weight. [40] Size tends to increase from north to south.
The head-to-body length of females is 71–103 cm (28–41 in) with a tail of 18–31.5 cm (7.1–12.4 in); 63 females ranged in weight between 7 and 15.9 kg (15 and 35 lb). [19] The caracal is often confused with a lynx, as both cats have tufted ears.
Although tail suppression (or tail length variety) is not the sole characteristic feature of the breed, [5] the chief defining one of the Manx cat is its absence of a tail to having a tail of long length, or tail of any length between the two extremes. [23] This is a cat body-type mutation of the spine, caused by a dominant gene. [24]
Typha / ˈ t aɪ f ə / is a genus of about 30 species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Typhaceae.These plants have a variety of common names, in British English as bulrush [4] or (mainly historically) reedmace, [5] in American English as cattail, [6] or punks, in Australia as cumbungi or bulrush, in Canada as bulrush or cattail, and in New Zealand as reed, cattail, bulrush ...
The species size varies according to Bergmann's rule, with the largest specimens occurring in cool, northern areas of Europe and Asia such as Mongolia, Manchuria and Siberia. [24] Males measure 43–91 cm (17–36 in) in head to body length, 23–40 cm (9.1–15.7 in) in tail length, and normally weigh 5–8 kg (11–18 lb).
