Bobcats

There's a wooded area near my job, when I got out yesterday, two bobcats were outside of the woods a little. I parked my car and watched them. I was literally feet away from them. Pretty exciting.

Yeah, we have coyotes in the burbs around here .. pretty neat to see animals that don't belong trotting on the sidewalk.

Yeah, they're the American lynx. There are four types of Lynx. Bobcats are one of them: Lynx - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I live in Wisconsin

The Canadian lynx looks like a freakin bear with a cat's head.

Haha, I know, all the lynx look really badass. But the Bobcat is the least interesting.

Yeah, our coyotes are pretty wussy. Every once in a while they eat a cat.

What state mi, I'll bet ours could put up a good fight. I wonder, because this area also has coyotes, who wins when the bobcats and the coyotes cross paths. My money is on the bobcats.

The fact that you saw them in that environment probably isn't good for them. Destroying their habit and all that.
