WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DANTE: WHEN FURIENDS COME TO VISIT, YOU BEND OVER BACKWARDS!

LACOCOON DANTE: LION OR MISSING LYNX?

I noticed another development in Dante's facial appearance just the other day.  The fur flowing from his cheek area was becoming more pronounced and pointed.  Take a look.

It's like these points of fur were separating from the rest of his mane and now he looked much more lynx than lion!

So, I did some comparison shots.

Maine Coons evolved from European cats that were brought over by early settlers, but there has been a long held myth (apparently genetically impossible) that they mated with wildcats, like the lynx.  However, between the cheek tufts and the ear tufts, it's otherwise tuft to explain.

Now, most folks think Dante looks like a lion, and I would agree there are significant similarities there, too. 

So what do you think?  Is Dante a lion, a lynx or something in-between?  Perhaps even the 'missing lynx' of the feline variety?

Lynxified Dante

Maybe Dante's a whole new species.
 A 'lynxion' PURRhaps?
