Lynxes might not be the biggest or most dangerous of wild cats, but they can still give you a fright if you meet one in a dark alley, make no mistake. Unless, it seems, you’re a beautiful little butterfly that daintily lands on the Lynx’s paw. Then, the lynx will stare at you like you’re the most beautiful thing in the world.
A lot of house cats would probably rather chase a bug like this down and try to gobble it up than just stare at it, but this big animal seems content to let the butterfly sit. The picture as a whole is a beautiful one that gives us a mix of the beauty and the ferocity of nature. And that lynx is so befuddled. It’s hilarious.
Seems Pretty Normal, Doesn’t It?
What’s the problem with this picture from back in the sixties? It’s just a little kitty playing with a kitten. It’s cute, the black and white colors give it a timeless quality, and both parts look like they’re having a good time. Well, it turns out that that kitten is actually a tiger cub. It does change things a little bit, but at the core, it’s still two young ones having a little bit of fun in the sun.
We hope that the cub kept its claws sheathed during this play session. We also wish we could find out how this little kid – three years old at the most – got the opportunity to play with a tiger cub. Lucky kid.
Gotta Look Good
We guess we shouldn’t be surprised to see a couple of cats staying out of the hot sun and cleaning themselves up, but it’s still a part of wild cat life that you don’t get to see too often. Whenever an animal like this is seen in a movie or TV show, it’s usually slinking through the underbrush, mauling an unsuspecting character, or lazing next to a Shah’s opulent throne.
Rarely do we get to see the upkeep required for fur that is that fuzzy and soft, though if you have your own cat it’s nothing special. The tongues are probably rougher, and there’s more work to be done since the cats are bigger, but all in all, it’s more or less the same.
It’s the Playful Pose
Here we see an image that any person familiar with cats will understand. Sure, a lot of cats would rather sulk in a dark corner than hang out with the humans, but there are also plenty who enjoy spending all the time they can with the other creatures in the home.
It’s clear that this isn’t your normal house cat, but it’s hard to look at the pose it’s pulling and think it wants to do anything other than jump around with that ball in its paw. This is a leopard cub, and while it will one day grow up to be big and strong, right now it’s just a house cat with a bright future. And that means you can join it for some playtime.
Been So Long!
You know the feeling. If you have a bestie that you haven’t been able to see in months or years, it’s all you can do not to hit them with a crushing embrace as soon as you see them. A couple of lionesses were doing a little bit of hunting when they happened to spot each other, and we got to see the resulting hug.
Well, probably a hug. Maybe this is a prelude to a big fight since these lionesses hate each other. You always have to be a little wary of how animals act, since it could be us putting our human emotions on non-human creatures. Though from the way these two look, they could very well be thrilled to see each other.
