*** About Lynx: Lynx are medium-sized wildcats native to the northern forests of North America, Europe, and Asia. Recognizable by their tufted ears, these elusive predators are primarily solitary except during the mating season or when mothers are raising their kittens. Adapted to cold environments, their thick fur and large paws act as natural snowshoes, helping them move through deep snow to hunt rabbits, rodents, and birds. Conservation efforts are crucial as habitat loss and fragmentation pose significant threats to their populations. Lynx are listed under various conservation statuses depending on their geographic location and the specific threats they face.
