Have you Met the Baby Bobcat?

The newest member of the Museum wildlife family is a baby bobcat!

His species is elusive, and you’d be lucky to spot one in the wild. The bobcat in the care of the Museum is unreleasable because he’s imprinted on humans.

For the coming weeks, the bobcat will periodically be in an atrium where the gray fox resides. They cannot be in the habitat at the same time, so they will rotate. You can have the opportunity to view and learn about a gray fox or a bobcat, both with important stories to tell!

9-5pm
