Pixman Report post Posted July 9, 2013 So a friend of mine (not a member on here) told me there are Lynx in Arizona. I said no there are only Bobcats.

IA Born Report post Posted July 10, 2013 One Lynx (collared female) made it down from Colorado to the Navajo Nation in far NW AZ a few years ago and was found in a chicken coop. As far as I know, that is the only Lynx ever documented in Arizona. Otherwise, there are no lynx in AZ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
