Bobcats are said to be highly adaptable to both wild and urban environments, but they prefer to live in areas with a lot of vegetation or steep, rocky terrain, according to the Los Padres Forest Watch website.

These cats typically avoid contact with humans which makes them fairly difficult to spot.
