Lynx

Short-tailed predator

A lynx is a wild cat of northern forests, distinguished by tufted ears, a short tail, and large padded paws suited to snow.

Several species exist across North America and Eurasia.

The lynx hunts rabbits, hares, and other small prey, typically at dawn and dusk.

We spotted lynx tracks near the cabin.
