KING 5 is a liberal democrat station isn't it ? Saying a Lynx in Redmond means Redmond would have to vacated due to Lynx habitat.

bobcat, should be no question.  here is why

"The tip of the tail on bobcats is usually black
only on the upper side whereas on lynx the entire tip
is black."
-http://dnr.wi.gov/org/land/wildlife/TRAP/avoidlinx.pdf  ty for that link

easy enough to notice the tail is not all black at the tip

Bob no doubt about it.  Another example of those that vote our hunting, fishing and land usage rules without a clue about the animals.  Last time I checked there were not any snowshoe rabbits around that area.  :dunno:

What do you expect from the Animal Planet crowd, they watch shows about wolves being killed and it's guys popping coyotes.   :rolleyes:

I think bob, lynx are more grey in color towards the colder months of the year.

The lack of spots suggest lynx, but the lack of tufts on the ears suggest bobcat.  Perhaps a hybrid, such as a bobolink?
