Northwestern has Willie the Wildcat. He has to be a lynx. He has no stripes, and no tail, which definitely rules out a wildcat. The white fringe on his face—a sideburn-beard kind of thing—is also characteristic of a lynx. His gray color and exceptionally pointy ears seal it: He’s a lynx.

I kinda remember him looking like a leopard or a tiger(?) back in the 80s. Like a guy/girl in leopard pajamas with a cat head on. My memory fades, and I was pretty sedated at the time.
People often use the acronym of NW for us even though we are actually NU. I guess this would make us the North Western Wild Cats.
My lynx photos from this past June. Looks like our Wildcat?
And a view as the Lynx departed my property:
Does a lynx sighting trump a moose sighting as far as predicting victory?My lynx photos from this past June. Looks like our Wildcat?

No question. The problem though is that was only the second lynx sighting (apart from at the zoo or Wild Animal Park Preserve) in my life here in Alaska. They are usually nocturnal animals and can be vicious if they decide to attack. I guess it recognized I was a Wildcat and opted to amble on despite the close distance.
Once it surprised me by appearing within rock throwing distance, I really had no choice but to stand in place and hope for the best.
Now this would be a cool Mascot.
(Came across the Wooly Mammoth at a pocket park yesterday when I was looking for a vantage point to photograph a ship docked at the Anchorage Port.)
The RoRo (Roll on Roll off) Car Carrier ship I was checking out to see if my vehicle was being off loaded:

Not really. He's worried but not the way you're thinking. I've been screaming at him and others on the 'new Rant board'. I'm not a happy camper these days.
We gotta get LouV to expand the number of posters allowed in conversations.
To keep this cat related. I have a new kitten and puppy that are wrecking my house and belongings. The kitten likes to knock stuff off tables for the puppy to chew to pieces. All they do is playfight all day long. The house is littered with wreckage. Dog #2 took a wet #2 all over the bed today as well.
It was an amber-colored dumb sprayed all over the bed and on the carpet. It smelled horrible. My gf could smell it as soon as she entered the house.
