Mr Bob (Lynx rufus)

Bobcats....Ive been having a bit of run in's with these fellows lately...the last was yesterday up in Silverwood Lake (about 30 miles away in our local mountains). I got to witness this chap fighting another male and chasing each other up a huge pine tree (about 30 meters tall) all the way to the top where the battle ensued. I stood my ground and waited for them to come down. Am surprised I got any good shots the way I was shaking after seeing that spectacle. Was an amazing experience!

Crikey!!! What a wonderful time you had watching them Victor.... and you've finished with a fantastic picture of this cat too.

I don't remember seeing another picture of one of them in the Gallery before. Many thanks for showing him to us.
