- A lynx is any of four medium-sized wild cats. The Lynx is easily recognized for their tuft of hair at the tip of each ear at least one inch in length or longer. These ear tufts help them in securing their wild prey unannounced. One unusual physical feature common in the all the Lynx species is their short, stubby tail which is black at the tip. Unlike our other felines, where the tail is used for balance and comprises as much as 1/3 of their body length. The Lynxes' tails measures a mere 4" to 12" at most.
Lynxes prey on hares, rabbits, rodents, wild boar, chamois, foxes, roe deer and reindeer.

  • Lynx FTW!

  • @Altaira55 A friend of mine had one lurking around just outside his tent. But the lynx wasn't stalking him of course, it was stalking sheep close to his camp site. : )

  • @winterstellar

    You're so blessed to have seen a wild one.

  • 2 people are fucking jealous and retarted. For this video the "dislike" button MUST be disabled!

  • There are too many here in Southern-Estonia.

    Cute things though.. hard to spot... bastards like trees so much.

  • @Marz0824 So strange, but seems that almost any cat awesome :)

  • There was Lynxes footprints in the snow on our outdoor stairs this morning

  • We have at least 1000 of them in the wild in Norway, but they're so elusive and shy towards humans that you need to be lucky to see one. I got once, one single time. I stood still, it stood still some 60 feet away, but when I just barely moved it shot off into the forest.: )

  • XP!

  • Sionnach1601's information is outdated; Lynx is no longer a recognized genus, but a subgenus of Felis, thus it is indeed Felis lynx, Felis rufus, Felis canadensis, and even Felis concolor (the puma, cougar, or mountain lion); most felids fall into either purring cats (the genus Felis) or roaring cats (the genus Panthera). The two other genera are Acinonyx (the cheetah) and Neofelis (the clouded leopard).
