These cats are absolutely lethal. I hike a lot and have a legitimate fear of being stalked by one (happened to a friend, the only reason she saw it was cuz she stopped to tie her boot, she had no idea). The fact they behave like normal cats strikes me as odd cuz you don’t realize how scary a big fluffy kitty can actually be

I’ll tell you one thing, of all the terrible ways to die, being chased down by a lynx who just finished locking its bunghole with its tongue is the worst. Not only will you be dying, but you’ll also smell like lynx ass.

They changed the name to Lynx Africa after some focus group findings

All cats are finely tuned stealth killing machines (though some are lazy). House cats are just optimized for rodent-sized prey, though they are still capable of putting up a decent fight against larger things. Though I’m curious if cats evolved to trigger “cute” recognition or if primates evolved to find things that include cats cute.

I will always argue that all mammals, if not broader categories, have cute recognition. I think it’s a fair play mechanism that evolved so that most species will cut other species’ young some slack in a brutal world, for the most part - with exceptions. I have no evidence for it, but I’ve seen enough animal interaction in my life to not feel completely unfounded either.
