Bob (born c. 2004; died November 2023) was a male bobcat (Lynx rufus, formerly Felis rufus) exhibited at the Birmingham Zoo.
Bob originally occupied an enclosed exhibit area in the zoo's Predator Building. Later he split time with other animals on rotation in the Alabama Wilds area of the Junior League of Birmingham-Hugh Kaul Children’s Zoo
The zoo planned to move Bob into his own outdoor habitat as part of the Cougar Crossing exhibit at Alabama Wilds. He died in November 2023, before that project was completed in 2024.
