    Lynx or Bobcat? (sound up!)

    I think this one is a Bobcat, but I honestly have no clue how to tell the difference. Any experts out there that know how? Or how to sex cats?

    These cameras are about 3/4 of a km apart, along the same trail essentially. Trying to figure out if these are different cats or the same one. I think this one is a lynx (because it seems a bit bigger):

    This one seems like a Bobcat to me, only becauseits smaller, but like I said - I have no clue!

    And I think this one could be a lynx justbecause it looks a little bigger:

    My guess of the four videos in order is Bobcat, lynx, bobcat, lynx.

    I'm going with Cat and Cat 3 as Bobcat, longer tail, shorter rear leg
    Cat 1 and 2 as Lynx, long rear foot and higher rear hip

    Theoretically bobcat is in lynx family, so you wouldn't be wrong by saying lynx

    I am with VLD43, if listed by the order of the videos, my guess is bobcat, lynx, bobcat, lynx.

    The first cat is a definetly a lynx having a solid black tail tip tail whereas a bobcat will have three black bars acros the tail tip. Unable to definitly determine second cat as tail is not visible and photo does not clearly show pelt colouring, lynx would be a gray clour whereas a bobcat would have an orange shade and dark spots in its pelt colourijng.
