Accip74 7,112 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 It’s obviously a lynx, the real question is is it a recent escapee, a release or from an existing population? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Well, it can't have looked exactly like a lynx to those sheep. If it had been canine or feline they would have been off PDQ. Link to post Share on other sites

Try to put aside being ‘right’ if possible? But the sheep are there and their behaviour is one of the things that you have to take into consideration when forming an opinion. The picture is not clear. You can get an impression of size, shape and gait from it, plus a vague idea of tone or colour. At best you can dismiss what it clearly isn't, but you can't say what it clearly is. But the sheep's reaction is clear and sheep don't behave like that when there is a threat. So for me the animal is either one of their own kind or something they have become accustomed to that does not normally interfere with their lives. Link to post Share on other sites
