I too have seen bobcats in Illinois. We have a little over ten acres just west of Bunker Hill that is mostly woods. I saw one in a tree and another one running along the wood line between a soybean field and the wood line. Not sure if they are the same animal as the sightings were over a year apart. If bobcats are indigenous to Illinois it would be nice to include them on the identification page.

Good afternoon, We've had several requests for more information about bobcats/ identifying bobcats. We'll be adding information about bobcats on the "Identify an Animal" page and in the "Wildlife Directory". Check back in a couple of weeks for updates. Thanks for the suggestion.
