The hind legs of both bobcats and lynx are longerthan their fore legs, which help them in springing tocatch prey. However, the hind legs are even moredisproportionately large on lynx, causing them tohave a “stooped” appearance. Lynx also have muchlarger feet than bobcats. This gives them a “snowshoe-like”advantage chasing prey in deep snow.©Tom Krause©Tom KrauseTop Left:Bobcats usually have eartufts shorter than 1 inch.Top Right:Heavily furred bobcatsmight appear lynx-like,with significant ear tuftsand cheek ruffs.Left:Lynx usually have eartufts longer than 1 inch.©RJ & Linda Miller Photography9
