    On Jan 29, 2021 I had to do a double-take. I was about to leave when I saw something moving on my front lawn. Turned out, it was a lynx (or a bobcat) come to prowl my bird feeders. Such a majestic, beautiful animal!
    Filmed from the comfort of my living room, using a Sony RX10IV camera.

    So any experts out there who can tell me if this is indeed a bobcat or a lynx?

    • @schizoidboy
      @schizoidboy 2 роки тому +18

      I'm not expert, but that is definitely a bobcat. Lynx have longer bangs at the sides of their heads and longer tufts on their ears. Moreover, the Canadian lynx has larger feet which allows it to move through snow, this one does not.

      I agree with you, it’s a bobcat. Lynx have all the things you mentioned as well as, they have a black tip at the end of the tail (always) this one has white at the very tip (they both have black towards the end but lynx has no white tip, bobcats do

      Another thing about Lynx - they have abnormally long hind legs, that make them look like they're eternally running downhill. This is a beautiful specimen of a Bob.
      Glad to see that so many of those tuning in here know the difference between the two!

    Bobcat. They can both vary a lot in size and coloring, but one sure sign is the tail. The Canadian Lynx' tail usually looks like it's been dipped in ink, black tip all around, while the bobcat's is usually banded, with lighter color or white on the underside.

They are down here as well, but they tend to be elusive. I would bet that both you and i have been seen by them more times than we ever saw them. The same is probably true in cougar country. I have seen plenty of black bear. They don't seem to be as shy with humans as cats are.

    The Canadian Lynx can be differentiated from the American Bobcat by looking at the paws. If they're wide like snowshoes, It's a lynx. Bobcats have smaller feet, and can't walk on top of the snow like their northern cousins, so what happens is what we see here.

    It seems that this is a well fed, perhaps short or young, bobcat that's not very spotted .... but is in a nice, mostly grey, warm winter coat! That may make him resemble a lynx more than usual! No matter how sweet he looks,
    he can turn on the 'tiger' any time he wants to. I did see a Canadian lynx here in upstate NY many years ago. He
    looked as big as my 120 lb. German Shepherds ~ but probably most of the 'big' = was the luxurious fur! He slowly crossed the road in front of our car ~ and laid down to watch us go by, so very unconcerned! We were deep in the
    remote mountains, late one spring night, in a place where there are no houses or farms, just forrest, for ten very
    steep mountain miles or so. Also was fortunate to see a mountain lion in that same county, about 60 years ago!
    He had, sadly, just been shot by a neighbor/farmer and was in the his car trunk ..still warm. Couldn't believe it ~ he was so soft and beautiful! Our God has blessed this earth with some magnificent animals!
