Happy Mother's Day

The female bobcat raises her young alone. One to six, but usually two to four, kittens are born in April or May, after roughly 60 to 70 days of gestation. There may sometimes be a second litter, with births as late as September. The female generally gives birth in some sort of enclosed space, usually a small cave or hollow log. The young open their eyes by the ninth or tenth day. They start exploring their surroundings at four weeks and are weaned at about two months. Within three to five months they begin to travel with their mother. They will be hunting by themselves by fall of their first year and usually disperse shortly thereafter.

Tigers Like Water

Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium promotes and practices effective conservation on behalf of the world’s wildlife. On my trip this past summer, I got a chance to check out some of the zoo's amazing wildlife. Malosi, a tiger from Honolulu Zoo in Hawaii, has come to Tacoma to breed with Jaya, the zoo's female tiger and mother of the two tiger cubs born in 2010. One of the cubs is licking a whip cream treat in the following video.
