Social media is proving there's more than one way to skin a cat.
The Edmonton Oilers introduced the first mascot in franchise history Monday - a lynx named after "Wild Bill" Hunter, the club's original owner.
Hockey Twitter was quick to mock the strangely life-like feline.
Florida Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo chimed in as well.
It's perhaps less frightening than the New Orleans Pelicans' original mascot, but not by much.
