Close Encounter

I was on one knee having just finished changing the battery in my camera when this lynx appeared without a sound. I was startled by its sudden appearance coming directly at me and only had time to take the shot and stand up.

 

Here are some interesting facts about this big cat:

  • They can spot a mouse 250 feet away. 
  • The black tufts on the top of their ears enhance their already excellent hearing.
  • This cat is not a fast runner and does not chase its prey, but ambushes it instead.
