Me Likey The Lynx
March 12, 2010
Here’s another shot of a Canada lynx taken in the proximity of where the previous photos of the lynx I have posted. You can find those shots here and here.
In this photo, please note the large feet, great for mastering the great snow depths. If you look closely, you’ll also noticed the all black tip of the tail. Some confuse a lynx and bobcat. The lynx has black tufts sticking up off the tip of his ears, large splayed feet and an all black tip of the tail. The bobcat lacks the tufts, doesn’t have the obvious large feet and although the tail tip is black, it also has white as well.

He needs bell-bottomed trousers!
Bobcats do have ear tufts just not near as long as lynx. Bobcat ear tufts are 3/4 to one inch long.
Jim is right, both have tufts, but the long legs and big paws of a lynx are unmistakable. What a treat to get one on camera.
