Lynx eat pretty much exclusively snowshoe hare. That is why they are a protected species in every state that Lynx exist.

That is a summer coat Bobcat...

Post by: KFhunter on September 01, 2012, 08:40:46 PM: I deleted it

said bobcat 100%

I waffled a tad, so 100% wasn't correct anymore so 99% sure it is a Bobby 8)

Post by: jrebel on September 02, 2012, 07:34:18 PM: Maybe that is what threw me for a loop....color is like no bob I have ever seen. I regretfully admit I was wrong and am changing my original answer to....Bobcat for sure.
