The hind legs <strong>of</strong> 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. <strong>Lynx</strong> 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:<strong>Lynx</strong> usually have eartufts longer than 1 inch.©RJ & Linda Miller Photography9
