Lynx, Felix Lynx, are carnivorous mammals that can live up to 20 years in the wild. These solitary creatures are a part of the feline family and have four subspecies: Canadian Lynx, Iberian Lynx, Eurasian Lynx, and the Bobcat. These four species are identified by their massive paws, short tails, long legs, and their iconic tuft of black fur on the tips of their ears. While some scientists think they are used like whiskers to feel above their heads, others think the growth of hair increased their hearing. The long limbs of this feline help them in their usual habitat of deep snow. Their wide paws work as snowshoes and both features help them to move through their environment easier. They even possess hair on the underside of their broad paws that provides traction on slippery surfaces. The Canadian lynx can be found in Canada as well as northern Us and Alaska and is also known as the North American Lynx. This feline is linked specifically to its main prey: the snowshoe hare. They are so dependent on this species that when the hair population drops, the lynx population lowers as well. The Eurasian lynx is known for a lighter-colored fur that is silky in the winter and shorter, thinner, and darker in the summer. It is the largest and most widespread of the lynx species. They are found in 46 countries in Europe, northern Asia, and the Middle East. These types prefer to eat larger prey of deer, reindeer, and even moose and are known to follow the migratory pattern of these prey species. The subspecies of the Eurasian lynx, the Siberian Lynx, is the largest of all of these felines and can reach up to 84 lbs in weight. The Iberian Lynx is the most rare of all lynx and has evolved entirely separate from the other four species. They are blocked by the Pyrenees Mountains from the other species in Europe and only grow to half the size of their Eurasian lynx counterpart. They have shorter, coarse hair suited to the Mediterranean climate and have the most spots on their coats. While they do feed on rabbits, this species lives in an area where millions of migrating birds will gather each spring and fall which enables them to feast on a wide range of duck and low-flying bird species. The Bobcat, found throughout North America, goes by the additional names of bay lynx, lynx cat, and wildcat. It is North America's most common native cat and looks quite similar to the Canadian lynx. Bobcats are fearless fighters known to never back down from a fight. They possess smaller paws and are the only lynx that does not have the tufts of fur on the underside of their paws. They are less adapted to living in snow, but are able to live in a wider variety of habitats such as swamps, forests, and deserts. They prefer rocky areas that give them shelter from cold or heat. Competition for food and shelter with coyotes is common for these felines. All lynx are normally nocturnal and will hunt mainly at night, particularly in areas near humans. They are most active during dawn and dusk. They hunt using a stalk and ambush technique to sneak up on prey for the final pounce. They prefer not to chase after food and will rather wait until a prime moment when prey is walking past them to pounce. Adult Lynx only come together for breeding and will remain solitary otherwise. Kittens are normally born in the early spring in dens found under tree roots, in rock piles, or under fallen branches. A female will birth one to four kittens and raise them alone. These babies are born blind with folded ears and will grow quickly with plenty of food. Kittens will nurse for up to 5 months before they begin eating solid food. At ten months old, they can fend for themselves but will often stay with their mother for up to a year. Siblings may sometimes remain together for several months after leaving their mother before leaving to find different territories to claim. Lynx do not reach full adulthood until 2 years of age. A mother lynx often purrs while taking care of their young. Lynx can also make a variety of noises often made by domesticated cats such as hisses, spits, yowls, and mewls. During breeding season, they are known to yowl and growl more often. They will communicate with additional scent marks, facial expressions, and ear positions.
