Bobcats and lynx both have ear tufts. Its clear to me that that is a lynx.

I’m going to post another picture in awhile of a lynx taken in the same area. It may or may not be the same one. This photo shows the large feet of the lynx – his “snowshoes” to get around and catch those hares. Although not clearly, it shows the all black tip of his tail.

The ear tufts are one way also a lynx has much bigger feet than a bobcat and a lynx is built higher in the rear.

ok…. not kitty.

Ear tuffs = Lynx, no ear tuffs = Bobcat? Is that how you can tell the two apart? From a quicky glance without reading anything at pictures on the net, I was like… wait, they look alike but I wasn’t looking at the ears.

Tom,
Yesterday I said I didn’t think this was a Lynx but after seeing these photos I would say it is a Lynx. I can see the ear tuffs in these shots.

The third picture shows there are two tufts, compare the background with the first photo.
