Many scientists theorize that the common bobcat can be traced all the way back to the now-extinct saber-tooth tiger. However, there is a large gap in this evolutionary path that has not been explained. Crypto-zoologists are therefore still looking for the missing lynx. ---

:: rimshot :: Fossil studies indicate that the Lombardy Pudding Elk was only rarely prey for the saber-tooth tiger, due to the dairydessertivore’s keen eyesight, sharp hooves, pack solidarity, subtle camouflage and ability to emit ear-splitting screeches, likened by one biologist to “Yoko Ono mating with a garbage compactor.” ---
