Perched upon the hillside, a bobcat's solitary silhouette graces the snow-covered canvas, a majestic guardian of the winter realm.
Always fun to come across this elusive creature and even better when he's not bothered in the least by my presence. When I posted this image a few others on FB a week or two ago, it sparked a lot of debate about whether this was a bobcat or lynx. I am quite familiar with both and rest assured, this is just a large bobcat. While the tail is not visible in this particular image, here's how I could tell: One of the tell tale signs of the difference is the tail. The tail of a bobcat is white on the underside with a black spot on the top and stripes on the tail. The lynx tail looks like it was dipped in black ink. I do have an image of this guy's tail, and it is most definitely a bobcat.
Have a great weekend!
