@TeaLovingDave Which is bizarre as, according to the taxonomy update itself, the range of texensis actually stretches further east than where Western's range is supposed to end However I am not bothered as I see wild Eastern fairly regularly and this will probably be my best photo of Western
This is an L. r. fasciatus then I suppose for those who look at this pic later and want a correct scientific name.
And I have to admit to a decent amount of envy regarding the fact you get to see wild felids - never mind having two species resident in your state and a third which is starting to pop up there
Indeed and as I have seen animals in California and animals in Connecticut I will have seen both subspecies at any rate.
I wouldn't exactly call Canada Lynx resident here But I'm sure they do pop down every once in a while and Cougars certainly do. Would love to see wild animals of both species one day, though obviously at a safe distance. Wild mammals aren't exactly my strong suit though I have many more wild carnivores around here that I've yet to see which would make you a lot more jealous than a couple of cats
Actually, Canada Lynx was the "starting to pop up there" species I was alluding to and Cougar was the resident - because no matter what the authorities say, it *is* resident in Connecticut
