Pretty cat. Looks like a very young one.

Tags: AirportKate44? Not bobcat, or nature, or stillness, or anything actually relevant. There's not even an airport in the video(!). Sifters are getting lazy, and it detracts from the website imo.

Mmm, this toe looks delicious... but I'll pass.

Oops! My mistake... I did mean to come back and fix those up, but forgot. I was trying to find out more info, like where it was, but didn't find anything specific. The yt username in the tags was just a placeholder to get the vid to post (at least one tag is required).

Fixed now.

Looks like a Lynx to me.

You might of fucked up again with the tags. Hopefully Dannym is going to come around and do it all up properly seeing as though he give so much of a shit.

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

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Sift of the week.

To be fair, he was watching this: http://videosift.com/video/Mouse-rescue

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!)

Oh yeah well we had a duck walk all the way up our 175 foot driveway, across the entire yard in front of us, around the house into the backyard while we sat on the front deck. Never had a duck in the yard before but this guy was on a walkabout.

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.

You can tell when he realized what he had done and felt stupid.

For some reason when I first saw this beautiful animal the term Ocelot came to mind. Bobcats, at least here in Idaho are much more bulky and furry as are Lynx. I know Ocelots are found more south of the US but dang, that still doesn't look like a Lynx to me.

Can anyone confirm what this guy actually is?

Nevermind. I checked out some pictures of some young Lynx and this does fit the description and the video. Amazing to see one that young. I know Bobcats here in Idaho and the surrounding areas are so few and far between. Sightings are rare.
