Lynx and Bobcat Skulls
« on: March 29, 2014, 01:56:21 PM »
I just bought several bobcat and lynx skulls to clean and whiten, this is my first experience with these skulls, the lynx dont seem to be any larger than the bobcat, I'm wondering if the bobcat can be as big or are the lynx just small? Does anyone have a picture side by side or measurements for reference, Thanks

You cannot rely on size to distinguish between bobcat and lynx skulls. Here's the simplest method of identifying the cleaned skulls:
