Not on the highway, but on a backroad a few weeks back...

I drove on a small back road in the rural parts between Stockholm and Norrtälje in Sweden, one of the many twisty turny roads going through forrests and between farms all across Uppland. (If you are ever in Stockholm during summer, with access to a car and have time to spare, I can absolutely recommend an evening drive on the backroads)

Anyway, as I drove through the bright summer evening, I approached a field where a older man and a dog was watching out intently toward the field, my car was in electric mode so it was quiet, as I drove past I looked out on the sunset lit field, and saw a cat, it was a big cat, but a cat...

I didn't think much about it but 15 sec later it hit me...

There is only one kind of cat that big in Sweden, a Lynx!

The cat I saw had the same color and everything!

Sadly there was no place to stop and turn around or park, and I didn't have my camera with my awesome super telezoom (100-400mm) with me so I could only keep driving.

Lynx's are very shy but they still live in the area, they are my favourite big cat animal, despite have a stupid looking tail.


Then two fridays ago, I was driving very late on another back road, I took it extra slow and careful since I had recently got a (deserved) speeding ticket, but still only saw a blur of the badger that decided to cross the road just infront of my car, busted my bumper but little else....
