I took this photo about a year ago of what I thought was a mama lynx, but since then, a friend of mine from the DNR told me it’s an extremely rare blynx– a hybrid between a lynx and a bobcat. The first one was discovered in Minnesota in 2003, but they put a tracking collar on it that was too tight, and the poor cat starved to death. Since then, they’ve been found in Maine and Michigan as well.
there once was a bobcat named jinx
who had a hot date with a lynx,
and the two, in a rush,
took a roll in the brush,
and promptly created the blynx

At the time, I thought it was too big for a bobcat, but small for a lynx; now I know why. Thanks, Lane!

Great pic. So sad how that Minnesota one died. I have a fossil lynx skull. It is around 4 million years old. It’s brain case is wide and large; they must be intelligent animals.
