u/Wildwood_Weasel, iNaturalist has this wrong, but this sub doesn’t have to.

That’s an ocelot in the Texas spot.

  1. Rosette pattern
  2. No ear tufts
  3. No cheek ruffs
  4. Non-bobbed tail appx 1/3 body length
  5. Tail is striped on top and white underneath
  6. Skinny forelimbs
  7. ‘Chains of spots’ hind leg pattern extends to their rump
  8. Petite build
  9. ‘Winged eyeliner’ curves around the side of the face
  10. Is just obv an ocelot

{+ — leopardus fam, not lynx}

And the other pics clearly show the bobbed tail. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/239249281

Lmao I don't know why I didn't think to check the original observation for other angles, that would've simplified things...
