The tail length of a bobcat and panther is based on their evolutionary adaptations and ecological roles. Bobcats have shorter tails as they are more agile and primarily hunt small prey in dense vegetation, while panthers have longer tails to help with balance when climbing trees and hunting larger prey in open habitats.
