Cool cat

  

Okay, so I haven't been lucky enough to photograph a Bobcat recently, but I've been involved in some discussions about Bobcats (and Mountain Lions), so I was looking through some older photos tonight...and then I thought that it would be fun to post a couple of them.

The scientific name of our local Bobcat is Lynx rufus -- I'm guessing the "rufus" part of the name refers to the reddish coloration in the fur:

 
Both photos are from Bodega Head in 2013.
