Eurasian lynx Lynx - this is probably the most northern representative of the cat family that live in the wild.In the Moscow region can be found in the remote and heavily cluttered coniferous forests.As the researchers found, the lynx population dynamics common in Moscow is directly related to the dynamics of the number of hare.This is understandable: hare - the staple food of the cats.
