Information
The body of an adult individual reaches from 70 to even 120 centimeters, so it is already a considerable number. In turn the length of the tail of this animal can measure on average from 6 to 20 centimeters. An interesting fact is that males are always about 25 % bigger and weigh more than females. The body of each lynx is finished with a short tail.
In our country, unfortunately, we do not meet these animals on a daily basis as it happens, among others, in the Czech Republic. You can meet a lynx there almost every day if you are in the right region. In Poland, yes, there are these animals, but meeting him is very difficult and borders almost on the miraculous.
Trivia
- Winter adaptations: The lynx has wide paws that act as natural snowshoes, helping it navigate through deep snow. Its coat also becomes denser in winter to provide additional insulation.
- Loner: The lynx is a solitary animal, spending most of its time alone, except during the breeding season.
- Teritoriality: Lynx are very territorial and mark their territory with scents to warn other lynx that the area is occupied.
- High jump: The lynx can jump up to 10 meters, which is very helpful when hunting in dense forest.
- Good hearing: The lynx has exceptionally heightened senses, especially hearing. Its large, fluffy ears enable it to detect the quietest sounds emanating from its surroundings.
- A long period of feeding the young: Young lynx are fed on their mother's milk for about 5 months, a relatively long period compared to other predators.
- Night hunting: The lynx is a nocturnal (nocturnal) animal, which means that most hunting takes place after dark.
- Diet: Lynx mainly feed on smaller mammals such as hares and small deer, but can also hunt larger animals if they get the chance.
- Diverse habitats: Lynx can be found in a variety of habitats in the northern hemisphere, from coniferous forests to mixed forests to mountainous areas.
- Threat: Lynx populations are under threat due to habitat loss, hunting and habitat fragmentation. However, many countries have introduced conservation and reintroduction programs for this predator.
