I was considering whether, or not, this guy had a pet bobcat since the cat don't show scars or bullet wounds, etc. An excellent looking specimen, indeed.

That's the size I like. They look like a big rectangle when they are walking along the edge of the trees.

I never knew Bobs got that big..I looked at it and thought "Linx"....

I just realized he is holding it out away from his body closer to the camera..compare the size of his hands with his face. Still a large cat!

Tail is too long for a bobcat. Looks like a Maine Coon.

After looking at some of the variations, I agree! Also consider that the guy is holding his arms almost straight out so that the cat's a lot closer to the camera. His right fist is a good size indicator. On the screen, it's the same size as his face. Nevertheless, more than a bit bigger than my 16-pound housecat!

Ears look like lynx but is not marked like lynx

would like to see hide measurements, biggest lynx I bought when I was in Ft.Yukon was 48 nose to tail ( hide), and this one here, while I am guessing smaller, is nice big cat. Chunky compared to lynx. Naw, wouldn't want that one alive.

Put a lynx that size, dead in a sack with about 2 Tbsp of Buhach and I bet ya get about 2 lbs of dead fleas in 48 hours.

Nice cat. ! !
