The Visible Interactive Bobcat – part of the Visible Interactive Anatomy series at WitmerLab at Ohio University Project ID: 00000C676 Public
20 Media · 1 Specimen · Managed by: Lawrence Witmer

The Visible Interactive Bobcat. These open access resources—both here on MorphoSource and on the Ohio University site—present our work on the 3D anatomical structure of the head and skull of the bobcat, Lynx rufus. Bobcats are among the few species of native wild cats in North America. The OHIO Bobcats are the official sports mascot for Ohio University, and although the species remains endangered in Ohio, its numbers are recovering. The featured specimen here (OUVC 9576) is the skull of a large, adult bobcat from Athens County, Ohio, supplied by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. It was a road kill victim, as evidenced by some skull fractures visible in the imagery. These resources are outgrowths of our more technical work and are intended to serve as STEM educational aids for K–12 and undergraduate students, as well as researchers. Work on this project was done by WitmerLab PhD student Donald Cerio. The skull was µCT-scanned with a voxel size of 90 µm at the OUµCT facility. Segmentation of anatomical structures was done using Avizo. More content will be added in the future. Funded by the National Science Foundation.
