The bobcat is Mr. Grignon's favorite animal to mount. He loves putting cats into all sorts of poses. This large cat was taken in Maine. Cats can become quite large up here.

The fifty five pound cat is not unheard of and thirty plus pounds is very common. Bobcats are very shy and retiring, being seldom seen by the average person. These animals are extremely furtive, almost strictly nocturnal and masters of the art of concealment. They can live in an area and be completely undetected for years. It has been estimated by the Fish and Wildlife Service that there are over one Million bobcats in the United States. World award winner.

The bobcat although seldom seen, is recognized by almost everyone. It has a spotted coat, a face ruff, tufted ears and a bobbed tail. A bobcats tail tip is white with a black bar as in the photo above. A lynx tail tip is completely black.

Mr. Grignon likes to put a completely natural expression in the eyes and faces of these mounts as shown in the photo on the side. Cats are difficult to mount and to get this natural expression has frustrated many.

The Snowshoe Rabbit, or Varying Hare, is the natural food of the bobcat. Bobcats depend on this wild game animal more than any other to exist. It would be almost impossible for bobcats to survive a Maine winter without the snowshoe hare. Snowshoe hares are not true rabbits. Rabbits are born naked and blind.

Hares are born with fur and can see from birth. The hares have a much larger territory and when run by dogs can take a barking dog right out of hearing range. Hare also do not hole up in burrows as most rabbits do. They instead with hunker down in brush piles or under witches brooms as this fine mounted animal is shown doing.

The two bobcats below are more examples of the fine taxidermy work done by Mr. Grignon.
