This Bobcat was recently photographed in Navajo lands. Bobcats are named "Náshdóíłbái" in the Navajo language and are respected and greatly honored by the Navajo People.

The Bobcat is very territorial and will go to great lengths to protect its hunting grounds. In Native American lore, if Bobcat is in your dreams and visions, you may be in need of spiritual or mental protection. The Bobcat keen nose can warn against negative invasions.
