Lynx rufus
Southern California, Mojave Desert near Joshua Tree National Park.
Photographed during an early morning walk near my home. She was apparently hiding in the rocks, stalking a rabbit which jumped out in front of me. Since her hunt was spoiled anyway I stopped to take a few photos. We see bobcats frequently at our home they are often wandering around during the daylight hours.

I always love ears of all mammals.... Most spectacular part of them. Their ears represent their intentions and mood. Here this cat seen in defensive mood.
Nice shot! We see these often wandering around our property in Carpinteria, CA. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a...
