Anderson, E.M.
Bobcat diurnal loafing sites in Southeastern Colorado
1990  The Journal of Wildlife Management (54): 600-602

I measured 11 habitat variables at bobcat (_Felis rufus_) diurnal loafing sites (n = 22) and compared them to random sites (n = 22) in southeastern Colorado during 1983-85. Univariate analysis of variables indicated bobcats selected steep-sloped, rocky areas with dense vertical cover and little herbaceous ground cover. Dense vertical cover (>70%) appeared to be the most significant feature of loafing sites, permitting correct classification of 88% of sites.
