California Lynx in the field
Loading...
Uploaded by crazymml on Apr 9, 2008
The CA Lynx (also called Bobcat) was spotted in the field across the stream from my fenced yard. It is my neighbor, evidently I moved into it's territory. Since I started patrolling inside my fence, no more chickens have been lost (knock on wood).
It does look like a house cat, only about twice the size, and the short tail is a dead give-away. I've seen it in action and it is fast and furious. Sometimes the chicken will leave them with a mouth-full of feathers. The chicken's advantage is that when fightened their feathers can slide right off allowing them to slip out of the bite and grasp of a predator.
Music: Mozart, Rondeau from some Clarinet and Oboe piece of his.

Indeed.
As a matter of fact, if you have ever kept a human male indoors you have lived with the most dangerous predator on the planet.
I've heard the theory that feline beauty and grace is a part of their hunting skill.

Thank you!

Well, the food chain. This is a predator. And it will eat chickens if given the chance. This means The one who houses chickens is to stupid to house correctly. It is called survival of the fittest. Thanks

Too true, have heard of many who lost chickens and have wondered how they house their chickies. I used to do patrol of the fence line each morning and several times late afternoon after the attacks. The house was VERY secure, luckily. Thanks.

Both! Yup, just cuz it is a predator doesn't mean it isn't also really cool in its own right. I have a predator living indoors with me, my house cat, she toys with birds and mice but cuddles up and purrs on my lap. We are strange creatures, no?

How cool. Do they ever come after your chickens??

Yes, got three of them and I interrupted the fourth attempt to kill and the chicken lived. Nice to see it from a distance, instead of munching on a chickie (got one of my neighbor's too).
