Euraziatische lynx of Los (Lynx lynx) Dierenrijk, Nuenen, The Netherlands Conservation status: Least concern

With a relatively short body, small tail and long legs, the Canada lynx is one of the most adorable fluffs. They may look like a cousin of your housecat, but make no mistake — these boreal predators are pretty wild. The Canada lynx lives in forested areas and like making their dens underneath fallen trees, tree stumps, rock ledges or thick bushes. They are territorial animals, and males usually live alone.

Its of course a captive one sadly, though it is the male of a regular breeding pair so they must feel settled to breed. There is talk of re introduction of lynx in to remote areas, and being a particular favourite of mine I would love to see that, but I fear its all hot air, it will never happen!!!! The fact that they were here and we wiped them out centuries ago means we could legally re introduce them, but as with so many species, the authorities take far more notice of the whinging minorities than the people who would like to see the animals our ancestors wiped out here again. We already have IDIOTS wanting to control the numbers of whitetailed eagles just a few years after their re introduction. If we were to cull anything I say we start with idiots !!!! Here I shall take a deep breath to prevent a full scale rant......................... ;o))

The Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) or Canadian lynx is a North American mammal of the cat family, Felidae. It is a close relative of the Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx). However, in some characteristics the Canada lynx is more like the bobcat (Lynx rufus) than the Eurasian Lynx. With the recognised subspecies, it ranges across Canada and into Alaska as well as some parts of the northern United States. With a dense silvery-brown coat, ruffed face and tufted ears, the Canada lynx resembles the other species of the mid-sized Lynx genus. It is larger than the bobcat, with which it shares parts of its range, and over twice the size of the domestic cat.

We don't want to pet huge lynxes, we want them to pet us with their huge fluffy mitten paws.
