The lynx is a medium-sized cat that lives in northern parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. Lynx have long tufts on their ears, weigh between 18-40 pounds, and prey primarily on snowshoe hares. They mate in March and April and give birth to litters of kittens about 63 days later. Lynx are threatened by larger predators like wolves and cougars.
