Fast facts -- The big cats!-LYNX

Lynx
-- A lynx is a medium-sized wildcat native to European and Siberian forests, USA, the Iberian Peninsula in Southern Europe.
-- Lynx inhabit high altitude forests with dense cover of shrubs, reeds, and tall grass. Although the cats hunt on the ground, they can climb trees and can swim swiftly, catching fish.
-- Lynx are usually solitary, although small groups of lynx may travel and hunt together occasionally.
-- They have extremely good hearing and have 28 teeth, which stab deeply into their prey. This can be especially helpful to the lynx because they are not the most efficient hunters and they lose most of their prey to a variety of factors.
