Trailcam Catches Predator Cats on the Farm (Lynx? Bobcat?)

[@patriciakavanaugh5300]

It's not that your cattle don't like the barn cats, they're just curious to meet a new animal. Cattle are very curious about new things in their space. Your cats are safe. Our barn cats would curl up on top of our cows in the winter to catch the sun. Fluffy red Herefords with yellow striped cats curled up on top are beautiful on a sunny winter day.

[@Lily2U1515]

I agree, they appear more curious and don't seem hostile.

Yep my "not my cows" are super curious about everything we do and place outside as we build up our goat/donkey shelters.

It’s probably a good thing to have those bobcat/lynx populations around the farm - it shows a healthy local biodiversity in the ecosystem; and it’s likely to be doing you a favour in terms of local rodent/ pest population management outside the perimeter of the barn cats’ range. I would be personally quite happy to see their presence as it is an indication that your management of the area is in some form of harmony with the habitat you reside in.

Hi Morgan, you need to be careful when editing your trail cam footage. See 12:40 - it’s randomly flashing the other video track. You may need to first resample the trail cam footage to 60fps so that you don’t get that.

[@Fenthule]

that part bugged my eyes out badly, I had to look away. definitely an issue there.

[@whocares6698]

thank you for the warning

[@HDApex]

Probably has more to do with the editing software or editing when he is swapping videos. When he is editing, he left his vlog footage under the trail cam footage and switched back and forth between the two. He kept the audio together with the video instead of separating the audio as a different track to save time.

[@Mgames_xd]

Alternatively he could put a still-image from the dash cam footage in the layer behind the video. Trail cams do a lot of trickery to save on file size, and Morgan's video editor probably didn't know how to process the variable frame rate.

[@HDApex]

@@Mgames_xd I believe you’re thinking about the compression cameras make like the difference between long GOP vs all intra. These are related to video codecs and how the computer process the information. Unless we know what editor software and PC specs Morgan is using, it’s mostly speculative at this point.

[@WhatDadIsUpTo]

A few key words on calving: Birth weight, head size, shoulder size Tools to have at the ready: Gloves are optional A quality smaller-width ratchet strap is not (optional). Caribeaner at loose end of ratchet strap is handy or at least a loop tied with a bolin knot. An anchor point on a 4-wheeler is handy. All this boils down to, you may be faced with "pulling" a calf to save its life. It happens. You need to be prepared, because a vet is not always available. Abrupt changes in weather, especially barometric changes, seem to trigger birthing. If you're bucks up, purchase a "Moo Call". That's a device, which clamps onto a cow's tail. When she delivers, she will hold her tail UP and rigid, activating a signal sent to a cell phone app telling you it's going down NOW. Very handy, but pricey. Good luck!

That’s definitely a Bobcat! So here’s the best ways to tell if it’s a Lynx or Bobcat. Lynx have hair that stands straight up off the tips of their ears, and they have shorter tails. Bobcats don’t have the hair on the tips of the ears and their tails are much longer. And also all the things you said in the video too! But the hair on the tips of a lynx ear is the most telling sign imo.

[@dutchman7623]

European lynx have a clear plume on their ear tips. Do not know if their family across the pond have them too. Over here they are very shy and nocturnal, they do not show themselves on farms in daylight. Same as wild cats (not runaways!) who live in larger forests, which can only be seen by cameras.

It's a bobcat. A lynx will have longer strands of black hair coming up from the tip of the ears. You can't go on the coloration of the hide, because they both can be light grey, dark grey, tan, or dark tan, depending on the terrain they reside in most. Of course, they will both have spots in various patterns on their hide. A bobcat is very elusive, but a lynx is even more elusive. One of the most stealthy creatures to walk the earth. He virtually goes undetected.

[@Lazyspaceout]

A Bobcat is a type of lynx

[@malcolmpayne9517]

You're absolutely correct. A bobcat is one of the four types of lynx. The bobcat is smaller than the other 3 lynx species. The bobcat has just a small tuft of hair on the tip of its ears. I actually hunt bobcats and coyotes that take up residence around my farm here in Alabama. I actually have a bobcat mounted above my fireplace, that I killed 4 years ago. Three species of lynx have the word lynx in its name, and then you have a bobcat, which is the smallest of the lynx species. But yes.... A bobcat is a type of lynx.

[@thedude5599]

To be honest I live in Canada and have seen both cats numerous times. A lynx is usually quite recognizable from the larger back legs compared to the animals front legs. A lynxx looks jacked up while a BOBcat is usually more uniform pertaining to front and back legs. Technically speaking all BOBCATS are LYNX they are just a sub species of them. What I actually think you might have is a Lnyx Bobcat cross. They do bred with each other thou it is not that common. Do not worry about those cats attacking your birds, one bark from Toby dog and those cats will split real fast. A Bobcats face looks alot like a house cat where a LYnx face is quite distinct.

Both Bobcat and Lynx are very similar difference are size and markings, Bobcat smaller with strips on forelegs and tail, the Lynx bigger with tuff of dark hair on tips of ears and have longer legs. So my best guess from your video it maybe a Bobcat.

Bobcats are a type of lynx

After watching it several times I believe that cat may be a hybrid (I have physically seen both). Lynx's have usually much longer Legs, an adaption for traveling in deep snow. This Cat had shorter legs of a Bobcat but higher rear haunches of a Lynx and the body coloration, while hard to discern, seemed to be a combo of both. Cats, of all wild species except for Canines, are the easiest to hybrid, they must have split relatively recently (in evolutionary terms). It was however a good sized Bobcat. P.S.- I don't think those two cats were the same.

@@Lazyspaceout, you are correct, but there is regional sub-species differences. Here in Kentucky and Tennessee where it rarely snows, or if it does not very deeply, Bobcats are much different in appearance to Canadian Lynx's, there is no problem telling them apart, this cat looked different from both viewpoints.

@@Titus-as-the-Roman very true, I wasn't really thorough, but some think they have no relation, bobcat is just of four species I think. And share close genetic makeup. but are their own species.

@@lewistillett206 thanks so much for answering! Texas for me. The flat, hot, dry part of Texas ! Lol, I love this man & his farm. He’s a good story teller. He has a Maremma & I have a Great Pyrenees. Danzig doesn’t work for a living though!

Great video! I believe it’s a Bob cat. A very healthy one at that!

I also love Jemima, I would love to see some peking-mixes, they could be a lot more heathy than her brother Samson and produce more meat🤔 I have had a flock of peking-runnerduck mixes and they lived a long and happy life.

you have a bobcat and not the one on your shoulder - sooo cute. And by the way, Canada has 3 "a's" in the spelling. lol...(i've lived here my whole life....don't think its changed yet) ...PS: love the "Release the Quackens!"
