30. Wild Cats

The No Sweat Nature Study Podcast

Are there wild cats roaming around where you live? We have seen bobcats on our farm and some neighbors once saw a mountain lion. These sneaky creatures don't necessarily like to be seen by humans, though, as they wander through various habitats in North America looking for food, water, mates, and places to take shelter.

In the episode, learn which big and small wild cats live in North America. Have fun thinking about cats through the lens of adjectives, too!

Supplies for the nature study challenge:

• nature journal or blank, white paper
• colored pencils or watercolors

For show notes and episode downloads, go to ourjourneywestward.com/wild-cat-nature-study. ← Find images of wild cats here!

In the companion Wild Cat Video Lesson found in the No Sweat Nature Study LIVE membership, you'll learn so much more about six species of North American wild cats. As you create a beautiful habitat science, learn about the geography, habitats, behaviors, and adaptations of these sometimes cute, but fierce creatures.
