The document discusses two extinct European animals: the European auroch and the European lynx. The auroch was a large bovine that disappeared in 1627 due to climate change, with a long body, black legs, and horns up to 8 cm. The European lynx was a carnivorous mammal that went extinct in 1950, resembling a vertebrate with long legs, thick fur that was mostly orange with black dots, and a small nose and big teeth. It was one of the widest cats in the world and lived a secretive, nocturnal life for up to 17 years.
