whatever  we think "Amazonia" about ocelots, some are living in dry biotops of Texas:

mountain lion from Papo

Nice models and great work!

Are there ocelots in Texas ??
How wonderful

Beautyful photos

There are even jaguars in Texas, so I'm not surprised about ocelots too!

thank you Tove,Susanne and Pardofelis! :)

these are great-- great scenery.

congrats from you make me very proud SeanieP!

You've just taken a picture of my headache. Yes! I didn't know my headache could look so nice! It is surely your photographic talents making some miracles.
Yes, I've spent some time to decide if I should get the new Papo lynx and you were right, it is really a good figure. Now my new headache is the new Papo puma, I am still not sure it is my favorite on market. Though, my indecisions are not the main focus here and all the spotlights should point to your wonderful dioramas.

thank you Rogério! if you don't care scale, the Safari 291 829 puma is very good too, but to big for me and above all, I prefer to by directly accurate Papo replicas without paying shipping cost!

happy to help you wit your headache!..

rattlesnake from papo, bobcat from Safari ltd, cactus from "Action" store..

That rattlesnake was disgusted seeing a bobcat so close. But looks like the bobcat didn't even noticed the rattlesnake

Yes, to be fair, the Safari figure is the one that is most immediately recognizable as a puma, in my opinion. This new Papo seems a little on steroids as usual in Papo. However, it is also usual that I tend to enjoy Papo style. I have the Mojö Fun that is a pretty young puma but I will try to check locally how the Papo figure looks in real. Thanks for the new pictures, they're perfect as ever.

thank you for your replies Pardofelis and Rogério! :)

..and another (vintage!) bobcat from Elastolin (1/32 scale)..

Adventurous one. With that wonderful landscape, I'd identify it also as a bobcat. Was it ever marketed as a bobcat or is it just the species you think match better the figure?

this one was sold as a hyena on ebay!

I would like one of our german friends tell us the exact name of this replica if they have or know an Elastolin catalog.. usually, it's sold under name of "lynx" but like you, I always thougt it was a bobcat because of its small proportions even if its tail is too long and its back legs longer than the fore ones (which is not the case on bobcats at the contrary of the other lynces).. :)

good fisher!..
