Description

A cute little baby red Lynx all alone in the forest. Where could his mommy be? Well, she probably isn't too far away and he may even have some brothers or sisters around. I don't know where the red lynx live. I wonder what country they live in! The FAA watermark will not appear of any of your beautifully finished products that you may wish to buy. ***
Lynx are medium sized cats whose coats of fur vary in colour according to their climate range. Lynx in the southern regions of their range tend to be shorter haired, darker in colour and have smaller paws, whereas in the Northern regions their coats are thicker and lighter in colour (for camouflage), and their paws are larger and much more padded to deal with the cold and snow.

All species of lynx have white fur on their chests, bellies and on the insides of their legs. Lynx have short tails, long whiskers and characteristic tufts of black hair on the tip of the ears. Lynx have long front and hind legs that support their thick set body which measures 65 � 130 centimetres (26 � 51 inches) in length and weighs about 11 � 37 pounds (5 � 17 kilograms). Lynx have a tail length of 2 � 6 inches (5 � 16 centimetres).

Canadian lynx are smaller than Eurasian lynx and are more grey in colouration. Like all cats, the lynx has exceptional night vision due to a layer of mirror-like cells in their eyes called the tapetum lucidum. Light that is unabsorbed by the retinal receptor layer hits the tapetum lucidum and is reflected right back at the retinal receptor layer for another chance at absorption. This is why cat eyes shine in the dark. Their sensitive whiskers, quick reflexes and acute hearing also help the lynx hunt at night.

Lynx Habitat
Lynx cats prefer cold, wilderness areas and high altitude forests with dense coverings of grass, reeds and shrubs. Lynx cats have very large ranges, by far the largest range of any other felids. Lynx make dens in rock crevices or under ledges. In harsh, severe weather and when breeding, lynx take shelter in caves or in hollow trees or logs. Although the Iberian lynx appears not to fear man, it will not live in areas where permanent settlements of humans are established.
