Bobcats are known to live up to 12 years in the wild, but the average life expectancy is probably closer to 3-4 years. 1  In captivity, they may live 25 years. 2  Few predators other than cougars and humans are able to kill an adult bobcat. Adult bobcats may receive fatal or debilitating injuries from prey animals.
