I'm fairly certain that series was all by the same bob since they were all in a straight line along the edge of a dirt road so that raises an additional question as to whether there is more difference between individual animals than species. I think we need photos to continue this conversation. Can you believe we talk about stuff like this?Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378411362651806039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700728271731802119.post-44198604568477990462016-01-13T07:46:40.233-08:002016-01-13T07:46:40.233-08:00Yes, good set.

One potential diff I've been noticing that I wonder if you see too - I think bobs tend to dig a pit and poop in it, and then maybe scratch stuff over it, much like house cats. But lions seem to more often just poop and then scrape over it.randomtruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01941027847362672057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700728271731802119.post-78972839544360607922016-01-09T17:03:08.174-08:002016-01-09T17:03:08.174-08:00NICE!!

I'd have to do some research to make a REAL guess, but I'll take yours. =) Great photos, and very interesting re: right eye injury in the bobcat & how it affects how it reflects light.biobabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081382623906668057noreply@blogger.com
