Our CATS

The Five Wild Cats of Texas

The wild cats of Texas are majestic, resilient creatures, embodying the untamed spirit of our diverse landscapes.

Geography

Where To See the Wild Cats of Texas

Ocelots

Go to south Texas and visit the home of the ocelot, and maybe you’ll be lucky enough to see one.

Mountain Lions

Visit Big Bend in west Texas where mountain lions survive in the seemingly harsh conditions.

Bobcats

Bobcats live in every part of Texas. Maybe you’ll see one, or at least learn that one lives nearby.

Jaguars

The jaguar has been extinct in Texas since 1948. This big cat lived along the south Texas coast.

Jaguarundi

The last verified jaguarundi was seen about 40 years ago outside Brownsville. Unverified sightings persist.
