Most species of wild cats are endangered including the bobcat. This project explores the behavior of a bobcat population using growth rate data from the state of Florida (from Cox, et. al., Closing the Gaps in Florida's Wildlife Habitat Conservation System [13]). We know annual growth rates for bobcats under best (r = 0.01676), medium (r = 0.00549), and worst (r = -0.04500) environmental conditions. For this project, assume that growth rates are constant from year to year (com W consider each growth rate as representing a different region in Florida.

1. Construct a spreadsheet (or other simulation) tracking th cars under the three types initially consisting of 100 individuals, over a period of 10 years e graph. The graph shoul environmental conditions. Plot all three simulations on a sing nave dates on the horizontal axis (starting with the current year), it should have a le identifying which curve is which, and the style should have each curve identifiable printed in black ink.

2. Repeat part 1 over a period of 25 years.
