Lynx x3

[Lowell Larson]

Just found this on my trail cam:  https://youtu.be/GqyqmIveDWw

I get lynx and bobcats occasionally, but generally am not certain which they are.  In this case, I'm convinced based on the tail of the first one that they are lynx.  I'm assuming mom and young.  If you look very closely, there are two small ones visible early in the video but the second one that is farther back kind of disappears into the woods.  Took me quite a few views before I even noticed that there is a third one.  I'm also guessing that the brief tail pop on the first one is scent marking.  If anyone knows for sure, or sees something I'm not, I'd love to hear it.

Lynx hips are noticeably higher than their shoulders and have large snowshoe pads.  I am not seeing either of these on this

video although having 6 trail cameras, I know how easily cams can skew the simpliest of things.

I would venture a guess of a bobcat (or three).
