I saw one in my backyard in Rochester, VT 2 years ago (Fall of 2022). I didn't have my phone or a camera handy, and when I saw it, I just froze. After about a dozen steps, it disappeared into thick vegetation and I never saw it again. I am positive it was a lynx, and don't think I would be believed so I haven't talked about it
You aren't talking about aliens or bigfoot. Number one Lynx are real and they do come south. So go ahead and talk about it. You won't lose friends or family members or jobs over it.
I live in southern Vermont, in the mountains snow ski area , I have already seen two of them running across the road. I’ve lived in the area for 7 years. They are around for sure
I live in Rutland, VT and I have been seeing a lot of homeless bums. They used to be very rare, but thanks to the dedication and hard work of our Progressive politicians, their numbers are way up. I saw two of them begging for money at the Walmart Plaza. I've lived in the area 23 years. They are around for sure.
Where I am in BC Canada the wildfires and smoke have really "tweaked" the wildlife, especially predators. It seems to knock off their built in compass. I saw a matched pair of cougar siblings last year sitting in the middle of a ranch road in broad daylight. YOu'd never see this in normal times, but these are not normal time.s
THAT poor lynx is sick and STARVING!! its too weak to run away, thats why its walking along the road, looking for road kill. It shd b taken to a wildlife rehab centre and examined and fed heartily so it can recover. poor cat!
My non-American brain being like "wow, it went all the way to Vermont?! How deep in the States is that?" * looks at a map * ...oh, it's really close to where I live in NB. I was picturing it on the other side of the US for some reason :p I've lived in Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and never saw one in the wild so I'm pretty jealous of this guy's experience. So cool
Northern Vermont is very close to the Canadian border. It’s really not that far, and they likely travel there more often than Americans think. People in Vermont are probably just mistaking them for small bobcats. Also the wild fire’s in certain parts of Canada could be pushing the into American territory to hunt more often.
I saw a larger cat than this Lynx. Perhaps a bobcat but it was running across a road at night near Newburgh NY , the way it ran so fast but gracefully was amazing
It's lean, not too unusual for a youngster. They prefer hunting snowshoe hares, common up north but not so much further south, so it could be having a little trouble finding food. People in the area should keep their house cats inside for a bit. They can wander a long way trying to establish their own range, away from other big cats. Hopefully it'll head north.
I heard they did. They found out not only is it Canadian, but it is a female even though it has male chromosomes. The International Olympic Committee has cleared it to fight female lynxes in the next Olympics.
Wow I saw one of those in Northwest CT about 15 years ago… We have a good amount of Bobcats but this one was way bigger like the size of medium size Labrador Retriever.
Where there's one, there are more. As for preference of having snowshoe hare in their diets, I don't think that they will turn away from a New England cottontail rabbit.
Bobcats can be more agressive. These cats are not dangerous. Populations in rural areas is diminishing not increasing. In the small town I was raised in many stores no longer exist and the hospital became a small clinic. Even the Catholic Academy shut down. Fewer people make areas more hospitable to some wild animal species.
Not at all. Sounds more like a clueless, left wing out of state transplant. A real Vermonter would enjoy the sighting, understand wild animals live in a kill and be killed world, and leave the thing alone.
It was not behaving normally. He should be fearful of this human. There is something not right about him, and I hope some wildlife rescue will look for him to help him. He looks very thin.
i have seen 4 of them in northern ontario. they are not what i would call big. i have seen 4 bobcats in florida in the last 6 years. the lynx is a little bigger than a bobcat.
Sorry but I've seen Canadian Lynxes and an aquaintance of mine once had a pet Lynx that doesn't look like what I've seen in person or on nature channels That has to be a unique American species of Lynx or a hybrid of a Cougar that Lynx is way too tall but amazing looking non the less
If you see one there is probably 10 of them you didn't see. The idiot game commission in Pennsylvania imported bobcats 30 years ago to control the small game population. Now there is no small game.
Man they dropping animals off in secret locations...where i live its no woods🤔🤔🤔so how the hell its a coyote eating cats by a regular nabor hood🤔🤔🤔👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
I saw a human deleting Siberian house cat laying on my couch this morning. Stunned as I was, I mustered up the courage to shoo it off the couch. The vicious cat was absolutely stunned, turned around and looked at me with that "WTF" look. Then without any other argument, the vicious human deleting Siberian monster waltzed off to take a nap elsewhere. I "feel" that I dodged a bullet on that one.
Like we humans just landed in an alien 👽 Planet ... perplexed that other species inhabit planet earth 🌏 JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE probably THEY had been longer than humans on earth 🌎
Obviously not - it came from Canada, everyone knows the “problem “ immigrants come through the US southern border. Cats from Canada have money those from south do not.

I believe you and that's pretty exciting. Not many people will have an opportunity to see such a beautiful animal.
@@kaycampbell8532sheep 🐑
You saw a bobcat
@@bilialeilan9038Did you see it through his eyes?
Leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. Not a large cat but lightning quick and VERY powerful for its size. Just leave it alone. You'll be fine.
My brother lives in that area, I'm sure he'll look for it seeing he loves hunting big cats.
Beautiful! And the man’s response ! ❤️
With the Canadian wildfires this year, it’s not surprising to hear of outsiders being closer to your area.

Lynx won't bother people. They'll hang around and watch us work in the bush.
Could be food sources are affected up north because of the wildfires.

My friend drove a Mercury Lynx 😅
Heather?
Is that the sporty version of the Canadian Lynx?

Don't they need a passport to come go back and forth from Canada to Us??😂

It looks normal to me and I have seen many.
Yuup
Its considered a "rare sighting" because its "rarely reported". Seeing them is more common than reported.
How do they know it is Canadian. Did they check its passport?
Eh?
I heard they did. They found out not only is it Canadian, but it is a female even though it has male chromosomes. The International Olympic Committee has cleared it to fight female lynxes in the next Olympics.
@@AngryVermonternicr
Wow!! I’m jealous of this sighting!!!
Beautiful .
Saw one once yrs ago in the Eastern Townships. Sitting up in a big tree in a school yard.
What?!?!?
So Lynx dont recognize borders? You dont say!!!
I spotted one in Connecticut back in 2000
I see them every winter in windham. They come to Vermont a lot.
They call it a "rare sighting" because it's "rarely reported".
I just saw one in my back yard in Brandon. It wasn't easily startled, when I first yelled at it it just stopped & looked at me.
That’s where they live ❤
Wow that's 😮 crazy. Rare. Never seen one at all. Never see that in CT
Years ago on Route 7, lynx was hit by a car. It died. I had to help pull it off the road. The guy who hit it was shocked. He was from out of state
I call 🐃💩!
what a piece of sh*t how about watch where your driving.
he should be charged with a DUI
Wow I saw one of those in Northwest CT about 15 years ago… We have a good amount of Bobcats but this one was way bigger like the size of medium size Labrador Retriever.
I'm in cougar country and people born and raised here have never seen one, I saw a matched pair last year in daylight. Siblings, probably.
It isn't rare, it isn't big, and the last thing it needs is publicity. Leave it alone.
Where there's one, there are more. As for preference of having snowshoe hare in their diets, I don't think that they will turn away from a New England cottontail rabbit.

Just bring your pets in at night... Apparently during the day too!
“Are you ok “. Sooooo Vermont. 😂

Looks like a half dog half cat hybrid
Schiller Spur
I had a jagarundy come to my table on lake benbrook texas ! Looks like eddy munster .
Called the state but got no reply from our biologist
Schowalter Trail
This was in Shrewsbury,Vt. Off of Rt.103. Lincoln Hill Rd.
It was not behaving normally. He should be fearful of this human. There is something not right about him, and I hope some wildlife rescue will look for him to help him. He looks very thin.
Amazing
That cat looks like any bobcat that I’ve seen here in Georgia.
They are very similar. Bobcat are in the lynx family but are slightly smaller.
BARBRA! GRANDMA IS LOST AGAIN!
Like spotting a rare pokemon
That’s a Vermont short tail😂
i have seen 4 of them in northern ontario. they are not what i would call big. i have seen 4 bobcats in florida in the last 6 years. the lynx is a little bigger than a bobcat.

Leave them alone
They've been in Orange Vt. for decades.
I saw one a few years ago cross the road in front of me on a steep hill, I thought one escaped from our local small (problematic) zoo
Can Lynx have striped tails?
If you see one there is probably 10 of them you didn't see. The idiot game commission in Pennsylvania imported bobcats 30 years ago to control the small game population. Now there is no small game.
Since when is a 25 pound lynx a big cat? lol
i wouldnt call them big cats. Jaguars, mountain lions, those are big cats
Animals follow their food. It’s warming up….
Poor Lynx Cat too Skinny 😢😢😢
looks fine to me if it was anything more it would be overweight
I see Bobcats here at least twice a month But I know Lynx are different
Man they dropping animals off in secret locations...where i live its no woods🤔🤔🤔so how the hell its a coyote eating cats by a regular nabor hood🤔🤔🤔👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
gonna catch them all
Here kitty kitty kitty
Leave that Lynx alone
Maybe suggest to bring in your outdoor pets ??? Or no?
Just take it home.
Kool. Now People leave it alone
Poor car if he knows like I know he will get away from them type of people
It's not a big cat, neither is a cougar. It's a variation of a bobcat.
Ii have a lynx in Ontario Canada
Hunting possibly looking for road kill or easy kill. It’s hungry.
The cat had crossed the border illegally.

Doest look that big
Democrats gave it a mail in ballot…
If only biden wouldn't have open borders 😂 jk
Would make a beautiful fur coat
Wowsers. That's far out. MAKE AMERICA TRUMPLESS AGAIN FRANKLIN 🤘🃏🎸🇺🇲
Is it here illegally?....
Obviously not - it came from Canada, everyone knows the “problem “ immigrants come through the US southern border. Cats from Canada have money those from south do not.
This isn’t rare, it’s a common thing now. Just cuz a dude got a video of it people act wild like they haven’t been here for years lol
Lucky is was just a lynx ....
Run into cougars all the time..
I live in southern Vermont, in the mountains snow ski area , I have already seen two of them running across the road. I’ve lived in the area for 7 years. They are around for sure
