Eurasian Lynx
The Eurasian lynx (or Lynx lynx) is a medium-sized cat that is found in temperate and boreal forest and mountains of Europe and Asia.
It has a broad, stocky build with large feet, and is known for its short tail and distinctive ear tufts. Its coat colour ranges from cream to tan, with black spots all over the body. Both the tail tip and ear tufts are black too. Males and females look alike, although males are slightly larger and significantly heavier.
Male Eurasian lynxes weigh 20kg up to 45kg, with a head-body length of 98cm to 109cm and shoulder height of 60cm to 75cm. Female lynxes only weigh 18kg to 25kg, measure 94cm to 106cm in head-body length and stand 54cm to 68cm tall at the shoulder. The stubby tail is 11cm to 24cm long in both sexes.
