Are Bobcats Autotrophs or Heterotrophs?

Bobcats are heterotrophs. Unlike autotrophs, which can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis, heterotrophs rely on consuming other organisms for their energy and nutrients. Bobcats, being carnivorous mammals, hunt and eat other animals to survive. Their nocturnal behavior allows them to efficiently search for prey during the night when many of their natural food sources, like rabbits and rodents, are active.
