Certain words in the English language represent animal sounds: the noises and vocalizations of particular animals, especially noises used by animals for communication. The words can be used as verbs or interjections in addition to nouns , and many of them are also specifically onomatopoeic .
Alarm calls have been studied in many species, such as Belding's ground squirrels. Characteristic 'ticking' alarm call of a European robin, Erithacus rubecula. In animal communication, an alarm signal is an antipredator adaptation in the form of signals emitted by social animals in response to danger.
The bobcat has sharp hearing and vision, and a good sense of smell. It is an excellent climber and swims when it needs to, but normally avoids water. [29] The adult bobcat is 47.5–125 cm (18.7–49.2 in) long from the head to the base of its distinctive stubby tail, averaging 82.7 cm (32.6 in); the tail is 9 to 20 cm (3.5 to 7.9 in) long. [27]
The population of the bobcat depends primarily on the population of its prey. [31] Nonetheless, the bobcat is often killed by larger predators such as coyotes.
