This species is about twice the size of a large 
Cat, and is a native of North America. Its co- 
lour is a bright bay, obscurely marked with small 
dusky spots ; the upper and under lip, throat, and 
whole under sides of the body and limbs, are 
white. From beneath each eye three curved 
blackish stripes pass down the cheeks : the upper 
part of the inside of the fore legs is marked by 
two black bars: the upper part of the tail is 
marked with four or five dusky bars, and that 
next the tip is black : the ears are sharp-pointed 
and tufted with long black hairs. This animal 
was first described by Guldenstedt. The hair is 
shorter and smoother than that of the common 
Lynx.
