Two Lynx in Ontario Have Intense Conversation

[Cattledog]

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I wonder how that all turned out?

It sure got my three cats interested.

[Hoyt]

2. Cool. Hearing that, made my cat nervous.

[Solly Mack]

3. They really want horns.

[Hestia]

4. Nature had a segment on lynx and it said that they will do this when they are fighting

over a lady lynx and both want to mate her. It showed the winner chasing the loser up a tree and daring them to come down. The sounds they made were just like this.

[suffragette]

5. I thought it was a human voiceover at first. They sounded more like people than cats until

the end of each segment.

6. Odd looking -

Massive back legs, huge paws , square shaped heads. And that head to head stuff - I fully expected them to butt heads. Nice post.

10. those back legs are crazy.

the one on the left nealed down after the exchange, ready to pounce. the other lynx probably did too but the grass obscures it.

[Auggie]

7. Could be territorial. My cat and the neighbor's cat have the same stand-offs. Both are female.

8. Wow!

Would not want to see what happens if this is prep for a fight. Those back legs are amazing.

[Kurt V.]

9. they weren't talking about the weather.

the other's a Republicat.

12. Animal world proves there's no need for guns.

13. With

those wicked claws, no need for anything else.

14. AWESOME !!! just put it on LOUD and our cats did not do anything...... lol. go figure.

[liberalla]

15. Wow! very interesting!

thanks for posting...

16. Apparently they make alot of noise but it does not come to violence

and so it is the right strategy for both males, otherwise one or both could be seriously injured.

17. "Who's got big feet?" "You've got big feet!" "No, YOU'VE got big feet!"

I guess that argument was doomed from the start.
