Range in New England
The bobcat can be found in all New England states, with varying population densities, depending partly upon the available habitat.
Though not often seen due to their shy nature, bobcats are fairly common in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
In Massachusetts, bobcats are more common in the central and western parts of the state than in the northeastern portion of the state. Bobcats are rare in southeastern Massachusetts, where the large metropolitan city of Boston is located, but their numbers are increasing in that area.
Bobcats are not common in Connecticut and even less so in Rhode Island, but their population is on the rise in both states.
