I want to tell you about the amazing cat - lynx.It is found in all the forests of the European part of Russia: in the taiga belt of Siberia and the Caucasus.
photograph them in nature is very difficult, it is very careful and sensitive animal.
Lynx - a very large animal, the body length is between eighty and one hundred fifty centimeters, and weighs eight to fifteen kilograms.
TAIL lynx is short, about thirty centimeters, ears long hair brush and lush sideburns on his cheeks.
The animal body is a dog shortened and feet - tall and straight.
Color fur predator from reddish to reddish and smoky belyusovogo.
Paws lynx is very powerful, has a membrane between the fingers, thanks to him the animal moves easily on loose snow.The movement of the lynx is not ingratiating ease, which is typical for cats.The animal is directly and firmly, easy rearranging its feet tall.
But the beast feet have an amazing ability to run fast, really long run trot can not.
Still, she is a real cat.
And what a wonderful climber trot!As she climbs trees so well that it can pursue or chase a squirrel chasing, jumping from tree to tree.All day trot spends alone, but as soon as the twilight, she goes in search of prey.The main prey of lynx - hare.But it also is constantly hunting for grouse and small rodents.Less lynx attacks on small prey: deer and sika deer, it can get the fox.
Lynx - a clever and powerful predator.But she never jumps on its prey from the tree, and patiently stalking her in an ambush near the trails.Or quietly, with extreme caution, conceals the object of his hunt, and then big jumps attacks him.
lynx have very thin ears and perfect vision, but the flair she weaker.
Courtship lynx occur in the winter or early spring.During this time silent males make loud cries.
Pregnancy in females lasts sixty to seventy days.The cat gives birth to no more than three kittens.Only in the first days of life mother to feed the baby with milk, then begins to feed them.By the beginning of winter kittens are themselves begin to hunt.The mother did not drive them away, walking with them until spring.
Côte lynx satisfied its nest in caves, under tree roots or in rock crevices.
educate their kittens by both parents.
fell into the hands of man, a well-tamed lynx.
Slim hearing and ability to see in the dark more than once saved the life of predator.Dark and dense thickets helped away and hide from hunters.Our sister Russian lynx is a Canadian lynx.It has its own differences.
Canadian lynx, as well as all the animals of the family cat is very cowardly predator.It also will not attack large animals.When her escape, she stopped to sniff and begin to raise on end wool.
Canadian lynx, a photo which you can see below, is afraid of humans and dogs.
Using the fact that the Canadian lynx is very cowardly, often hunted for her.It's easy to kill even a stick.
On average, the lynx live about fifteen or seventeen years old, and it is very beautiful and amazing animals.So let's take care of the environment and nature, a lot of what we owe.
