A medium-sized feline that prefers a forest home, the lynx is a nocturnal, solitary cat that enjoys hunting rabbits as well as other rodents or sometimes small deer. These elusive cats have a lifespan of around 17 years in the wild and about 20 years in captivity, and their coat color can vary based on the climate they live in.
The Eurasian lynx resides in the central and eastern regions of Europe, while the Iberian lynx can be found in southwest Spain, and both are considered in danger of extinction. In North America, some feline cousins are the Canadian lynx and the bobcat, but their populations are considered stable and not at risk.
International Lynx Day is here to feature these cats and raise awareness about their potentially irreversible plight!
Kokoonnutaan maltilliselle etäisyydelle Ilvestieltä harjoittamaan tiistai-illan ratoksi hieman geolöpinää. Miittipaikka on avoin, joten taivaalta mahdollisesti tuleva kosteus voi vaikuttaa negatiivisesti puutteellisesti varustautuneen miittailufiilikseen. Tervetuloa!
