Great photos everyone! Always inspiring to see the wildlife and locations you all see.

 

Here is a contribution of my own.

 

Bobcat (Lynx rufus), Marin County, California. I have spent a lot of time with bobcats in northern California. They were the cats that made me fall in love with all forty species of feline. This sub-adult is staring back at its mom, watching her hunt. Love these cats!

 

1/125th, f/5.6, ISO1000. 400mm.
