They've been my favorite wild cat since I was 7. I used to collect pictures of them to put up in my room. This made me so happy to see them like this in their natural habitat. Wonderful pics of them and the vocalization was amazing to hear! This is like seeing unicorns to me. Thanks so much for posting and so pleased you had a great time as well. Cute doggie too!

Thank you so much for posting this. I regard the lynx as a regal animal. I have never seen better raw and more natural footage of this magnificent animal than this. I have used trail cameras in my environmental law enforcement job for the past 16 years. Your selection of the camera sites in all that vast forest was obviously spot on - well done sir. These cats are not often seen by most, except but by cool cats who venture way out in the real forest. The shot at 09:48 was precious. A big stretch. Who hasn't seen our own domestic shorthair house cats do the exact same thing? Whether it's a lynx, tiger, panther, ocelot or a lion - very similar behaviors. The thick fur coat of the lynx is amazing. No animal is better suited to the bitter cold. Cats have been enormously successful in evolution. There isn't a more skilled and agile predator. A 500-pound African lion has nothing on a 39-lb lynx in attitude. Every bit as ferocious and regal - a pure hunter and survivor. For me, in the top of the best trail camera footage I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot. It's because of how many different behaviors of the cats that were captured. The sound when the lynx was sniffing the camera, the stretch, laying down in front of the camera, meow -howling, the flipping of those huge paws to make a sitting pad, coming by after they've eaten with blood on their face (not an unpleasant amount). Priceless.

Wow a couple of those were good sized bobcats. I’ve seen them in the next to my old house in the field. I’ve also seen what I believe was a wolf in that same field, it was chasing a huge buck. Went out in the field later and the paw prints was ginormous, I know we’ve got some good size coyotes too, but this was just unbelievable big.. I wish now that I had taken pictures, because nobody believes me. But it’s alright, I know what I saw.. This was probably 20 plus years ago now..

True Story, We have property in Monson Maine and one day while cutting trees, I can see my Wife frantically waving for me to come to her. I shut the chainsaw and walk over and she say's " look over there,it's a Lynx. I see it about 60 feet away sitting while looking right at us. I yell and throw a stick but it doesn't flinch. This is not normal and I am worried it could be rabid. Maybe the sound of a gunshot might spook it off so I get my gun and come back out and it's still there watching us. But instead of firing a warning shot, I keep my sight on it and try to close the distance between us. My Wife thinks I'm nuts but I keep going,closer,closer,closer. Then I get a really good look at it. It's a broken tree stump. Same height as a Lynx pointy ears and all. I told my Wife I was going to go pet it. She's freaking out and telling me to stop. I love showing guests on our property our local pet Lynx.
