Earlier this year I’d been told about sightings of a wild cat that has puzzled people. A lady finally got a photo of one last year but I’ve yet to see it. Some say it was long ago thought to be extinct. Recently I got an up close look at one. My description is rather vague because it ran fast across the rural road in front of us. The cat has long hair with a tail approximately two feet in length. Definitely smaller in height and length than a mature mountain lion. But larger than a bobcat. I don’t know the exact color of the hair. The one in the photo is said to be black. The cat I saw was dark and the head was quite large.
Does this sound like a lynx? I didn’t get a good look at the ears. There’s so much brush to hide in and lots of wildlife for these cats to feed on. Quite a few mountain lion sightings and tracks found in the same area. It’s easy to see why this type of cat could survive here and populate. Thankful to get to see one in its natural habitat. The sighting was close to the Red River.
Has anyone else seen something similar?
