Lynx rufus Even though this is not how I would have liked to capture a "wild bobcat" It does represent a beautiful animal in the wild. We live on the outskirts of any real population and this guy comes through our development regularly. He is still as wild as they get and reflects a good diet and healthy environment that he has adopted to very well. There are plenty of birds and wild rabbits here which I don't think he has any trouble putting them on his plate. Bobcat,Geotagged,Lynx rufus,Spring,United States Click/tap to enlarge

  1. What a joy it must be to have this around. To me it appears like the exact mid point between a domestic and big cat. Posted 9 years ago
  2. Ha! get it in a corner and try to pet him, you will quickly learn how domesticated this feline isn't :)

    What a joy to be able to observe this creature from your own garden!

The bobcat is a medium-sized North American cat that first appeared during the Irvingtonian stage around 1.8 million years ago. Containing two recognized subspecies, it ranges from southern Canada to central Mexico, including most of the contiguous United States.
