Lynx
| Introduction |
The lynx, sometimes mistaken for the bobcat, can be distinguished by its very short tail, which is only four inches, its tufted ears, and its slightly larger size. It depends on the snowshoe hare for 70-90 percent of it's diet, besides this it feeds on rodents and birds. If the thought of a lynx roaming through the woods frightens you, just pretend they're not around, because usually they are not. Being nocturnal and very solitary the lynx stays deep within the forest and is hardly ever seen. It is said they can be spotted in forest and swamp area, but since they usually only roam at night it is not likely you will see one. |
