Thanks to Cindy Hildebrandt for telling me :





The bobcat lives in North American from southern Canada to Southern Mexico, from the east to the west coast in the United States.  The bobcat is closely related to the lynx; however, it is half its size. The bobcat can be distinguished from the lynx by the markings on its tail; whereas the lynx has a black tip to its tail that goes completely around its tail, the bobcat's had a white underside with the coloration and markings on the top half. Bobcats also lack the hair on the soles of their feet that lynxes have. The tufts on the ends of their ears tend to be smaller, and their ruff not as prominent.

Debbie says: I thought there was a chance they were not the same. So, the success that CO is having with the lynx probably could not carry over to the bobcat in Iowa. Maybe presistance and patience is the best lesson to learn.
