Wild Cat Spotted In Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs
Is it a Bobcat or a Lynx? You be the judge. A couple of Colorado Springs residents took several snap shots of the animal.

I saw this guy (or maybe a different one) this morning in my back yard! My 5 year old son actually spotted him first and told me there was a tiger in our yard! I think he was a lynx because the tip of his tail was solid black. And he was very fat, or maybe "he" was pregnant? It might have been living on the hill behind our house for a while now, my parents were talking about "mountain lion" prints in the snow leading under the deck a couple weeks ago.

It's likely it is so tame because someone is feeding it. They better be careful! I agree Dave, whats the point of asking if it's a Lynx or Bobcat? It's a predatory animal who eats pets. I see bobcats by Fountain Creek all the time.

Why are photos on news sites always so small? 200x150 pixels? C'mon, at least put a link to a larger picture.

Bobcats ARE Lynx. A lynx is any of four medium-sized wild cats. All are members of the genus Lynx. The four species placed in this genus are: Canadian Lynx (Lynx canadensis) Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx) Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus) Bobcat (Lynx rufus)
