African Lynx

who gave us the fright of our lives! My daughter and I were at eagle encounters when we saw this wooden construction behind a fence, pretty high up in an enclosure. We stood on our toes to see what was inside. This Lynx suddenly popped up with his lunch. It is the only shot I got before he went down again. At the time I did not have any means of removing all the fence, there was a lot of it ;-)
Apparently he was kept as a pet by someone but was starting to become vicious, so the authorities brought him here. He will be returned to to wild.
Wow! What an exciting capture! He has a wonderful face!

Oh wow, you can see the littlebits of lunch on his paw ...

Whoa there! Not sure why some people have pets, but glad to hear this beauty will be returned to where he belongs--free.

SO glad he is being freed, do you know more about how it went when they released him? I can't imagine the moment it was for you tho!

Wow, not so sure I would be game enough to have him as a pet.
