Rh like the Canada Lynx. He is a great fighter and very courageous. He is smaller than the Canada Lynx and has a cunning bob-tail. He is about thirty-five inches in length.

The Bay Lynx is known as the Wild Cat, Bob Cat and Indian Devil. This animal can be easily tamed, but must be kept out in the open, winter and summer. He does not thrive in artificially heated rooms. They make delightful pets, are loving, gentle and easily tamed.

Whenever I look into his fathomless yellow eyes, I long for a home in the woodlands where I could keep several Lynxes and other wild babies, and get acquainted and become friendly with them. Their companionship must be a rare treat and well worth while.
