I now realise that some of the comments above were describing Canadian Lynx (Lynx canadensis) as "Lynx" even though Bobcat (Lynx Rufus) is also a Lynx and so is Lynx Lynx (Eurasian Lynx).

All the pictures of the Canadian Lynx that I had previously seen were ones with their shaggy winter coat that makes them look like they're wearing pyjamas (http://goo.gl/zlJUS5) But anyway, I agree with you that it ticks off all the bobcat signifiers. It's also a long way from Canada or Alaska.

Pretty sure it's a bobcat though they are easy to confuse.

I reference this http://travel4wildlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/lyx-vs-bobcat2.jpg

Specifically I'm thinking: short tufts, visible spots, and rear legs & hips similar length to front and most significantly longer tail. (Lynx barely has enough tail to swish unlike this chap)

To my eye you can tick off all the main bobcat signifiers here anyway.

Edit: Lynx Rufus is a Bobcat! (should have read further before commenting DOH!)

Yep, a bona fide Lynx rufus. I'll add that to the tags as well as his common name.

Still better than Rufus Wainwright's version.

Happy Birthday Rufus. Hope you're out there having a damn fine time

Lyrics:

He is your brother.
And just because he's older,
He will always try to boss you.
No matter what you do,
You must obey him!

He is your brother.
And just because he's younger,
You will learn to tell your fists no,
When he beats you on Nintendo.
Do not hit him!

Ahhhhhhhhh
Don't leave us,
You are our jesus.
But you look like mother.
Don't want to lose you,
To another.

Ahhhhhhhhh
Don't leave us,
You are our jesus.
She maybe your lover,
But do not forget,
You are our brother!

You were a loser,
Your haircut was a mullet.
You could not play the bassoon,
You had a dark blue bedroom,
What were you thinking?!

You also had a mullet!
I was always the cool one.
I was the budding rock star,
I'm awesome at the guitar....
...But you work for me now!

Ahhhhhhhhh
Don't leave us,
You are our jesus.
But you look like mother.
Don't want to lose you,
To another.

Ahhhhhhhhh
Don't leave us,
You are our jesus.
She maybe your lover,
But do not forget,
You are our brother!

You were working as a salesman,
In a homeware & design store.
You only ever wore black,
Your life was made of Habitat.
You were lonely.
Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh

That was when you met her,
Though you would never tell us.
But then we finally guessed it,
Out came your dirty secret -
You loved your boss!
Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh
You loved your boss!!!

You are my brother.
Just look how far you've come now.
I used to change your nappy,
Now you're old & saggy,
Fat like Paddy.

You are my brother.
I always looked up to you.
But now to me it's quite weird,
Cause you have hair & a beard,
Just like our Daddy.

Ahhhhhhhhh
Don't leave us,
You are our jesus.
But you look like mother.
Don't want to lose you,
To another.

Ahhhhhhhhh
Don't leave us,
You are our jesus.
She maybe your lover,
But do not forget,
You are our brother!

@Rufus so, freedom, to you, is synonymous with pervasive violence? Is that what you were told as a small child?

Hey, if only government just protected our lives and property, I'd be very happy about it. You do realize that's roughly why libertarians often talk about a limited government, right?

Too bad it isn't limited at all, far from it. It uses violence a lot more than it should, in ways you don't know about or haven't carefully considered. Probably both. Hell, it even scared you into fearing freedom.

@petpeeved so you're saying government price fixing by bureaucrats is the solution, because they're better judges of "real world supply and demand" than the collective judgements of millions of people trading vigorously every day? Wow, if only it was you running the centrally planned economy of Soviet Russia, I bet we could have stopped its apparently avoidable collapse.

You think the health and healthcare industry is "unfettered capitalism"? That's so delusional I don't know where to start. It's one of the most regulated industries in America. That's government intervention for you. Why do you think there's so much disgusting lobbying for special interests? Because government is everywhere, you can't move an inch without greasing the hand of a dirty bureaucrat.

Get government out of healthcare, and there will be no laws to protect the crooked big businesses. Let the industry compete with higher quality and lower prices, like any business tends to do in less regulated environments.
