Were are they? The lynx inhabits the high altitude forests with dense cover of shrubs, reeds and grass. Though the cat hunts only on the ground, it can climb trees and swim.

Its desired resting place is in crevices or under ledges, and it gives birth to 2 to 4 kittens once a year. feeds on birds, mammals and fish, and often on sheep and goats, but its main prey is the Snowshoe Hare.
