I’ve posted a few photos of this bobcat before, but none of the wink that it gave me when it first spotted me down on the ground taking its picture. The encountere happened at a place called the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary — a small patch of wilderness just two miles from the hotel I was staying at in downtown Irvine, California. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/400th of a second
Great Picture.
I’m in Ireland & we don’t have ANY Wild Cats whatsoever.
There is a Lynx, rare but extant, in Europe but it is only a bit bigger than a domestic cat. It looks quite similar in appearance to your Bobcat & I was wondering if they were related.
Keep the Photos coming, they’re the email look forward to the most when Log on.
Hey Con, they are related. There are four species in the genus “lynx.” The bobcat, the Eurasian lynx, the Spanish (or Iberian) lynx and the Canadian lynx. For some reason, the bobcat is the only one that doesn’t get the word “lynx” in its common name.
