That frantic grooming tells me something very important: that lynx was lonely and bored as all fuck. This place isn't giving it enough stimulation and it could use a friend.

Good thing it has one then. Big buddy and little buddy bff's 4 ever. Lots more fun things you can do with a friend, even in an impoverished space. This video is pretty old, I wonder how they're doing now.

Videos of this duo get posted a lot. IIRC, the zoo had a lonely lynx cub and they got it a stray cat as a companion, and now the lynx is grown and they're BFFs. Like how zoos that have 1 cheetah will get it a golden retriever for companionship.

Went to a zoo and there was a cat sleeping cozily in a big pile of raccoons, with a sign that said his name was Rocky and when they renovated and moved the enclosure they removed him, but he found his friends a few days later and they just leave him be now.

That's so great, that they're both aggressively grooming one another to assert dominance. The lynx is obviously in charge and it's wholly "that's cute, little friend".

I used to have a cat that would lick me ONLY in my sleep. Since I have a sleeping disorder, this wouldn't wake me, and he'd just keep licking.

I'd wake up with blood spots staining the sheets where he had licked me too long.

My theory was, he was very very slowly trying to eat me.

Works even better for cheetahs than humans. It's not the loneliness (they raise cheetahs in groups); it's that the cheetahs partially base their stress on the rest of their group. The golden retrievers are living the life (food, exercise, constant cheetah, dog, and human companionship) and are lower stress to begin with.

Interesting, this is also a thing in raising fish. Some skittish fish do better if there's chill, schooling fish around. If the schooling fish aren't hiding, that likely means no predators are around, so the skittish fish can relax.

Edit: As several people have pointed out, the fish are called dither fish. I haven't raised fish in a while and had forgotten the term.

Edit2: I also didn't know the piece about it reducing aggression. I didn't really raise territorial fish like cichlids, so that's cool.

"I'll be okay at some point in the future" is very different than "I'm okay right now". Sometimes the only thing you can do is to cling to the desperate faith that someday it will get better. But it gets really hard to keep believing that

As someone who has a cat that insists on "grooming" my face and head lemme tell ya it exfoliates all right, but be prepared to have them leave slimey hair slapped onto your face bc they got it in their mouth

As a side note: I dont let him do this, he ambushes me while asleep and tries to steal my eyebrows/eyelashes

I still laugh when cats try to lick my hair and just get a mouth full of hair because they licked against the grain..

Like, cat, 30% of your life is spent licking hair, how do you not know what direction to lick by now?

Mine tries to lick my forehead hair but it’s so long (almost to my elbows) that he can’t get it out of his mouth when he pulls his head back lol. He does this every time and then looks angry at me for allowing him to do it again

Most likely that cat was put in to the exhibit by staff because the lynx was lonely.

Usually habitats that hold felines.....aren't accessible by other felines unless put there. I highly doubt the cat found it's way in

The captions aren't fake, just somewhat inaccurate.
The zoo put these two together when they were both small, there are pics of them where they're about the same size.
This lynx is named Linda and the cat is Dusya.

The lynx baby (named Nika) with a foster mom adult cat is a different pair, in the video of those two you can see that the cat isn't the same as this one.
