On silent paws

Beautiful creatures and a great shot, Gudrun! Any species of cat is gorgeous, as far as I'm concerned. Canada has the lynx, US has the bobcat (subspecies of lynx). I saw one leap across a road in front of my car, once, and it was a treat!

Thanks very much, Diane! Lucky you to see one in the wild! Here they are very elusive and farmers hate them even though they get compensated for the very few sheep they take. Usually they go for red deer which is a good thing as there are far too many of them in our woods.

Schönes Naturfoto. Im Bayrischen Wald habe ich an zwei Tagen jeweils mehrere Stunden vor einem Gehege verbracht, ohne einen Luchs anzutreffen!
