Yes, I'll fix it for you. Again.
Default Another bit o' wildlife

Here's another interesting one. It was in a field just down the road from my place where I see lots of coyotes, and was by far the largest example of it's kind I've seen around here. Lynx rufus is the proper name, commonly called a Bobcat.

This sucker was the size of a small coyote, I'm guessing he was in the 36" range. Watched him for about 30min, stalking through the field, detecting rodents, getting position, and pouncing. I watched him catch and eat probably 8 times.

The light sucked, with the sun already behind the hills. I used my Fuji S5000 at 10x with a 2x doubler. Shutter speeds of 1/400 @ f3.2.
