2. Wow!! Family argument?

If this were two strangers arguing about territory or mating rights, they be tearing into each other, no?

Cats, gotta love 'em.

5. Cats usually yell at each other for awhile before they start fighting.

"I just f*cked your girlfriend!"
"Well, I just f*cked your girlfriend!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"

And this goes on for a while, until they come to blows or one just walks away.

We have their smaller, similar cousins, bobcats, in the southern mountains. My neighbor's camera has caught them on her driveway.

Lover of wildlife here.

Big feet to hit the top of the snowpack!

we refer to their feet and that of wolves as "snowshoe feet" a term coined by Dr. Doug Smith of USNPS.

9. Common sounds for bobcats

During mating season. Most likely lynx too.

12. That's a cool video of their behavior

seeing them in the lower 48 is pretty rare. We have some but according to researchers, they are finding that they are starting to cross-breed with bobcats!

13. Wow, just like wolves are mating with coyotes. I wonder if the cats will be as successful.
