Jungle Lynxes are not recommended for novice owners, as they may be difficult to housetrain and control, but experienced and devoted owners claim these hunters be extremely affectionate and playful. Since they are carnivores, don't trust them with pets that would be their natural prey (birds, hamsters, sugar gliders, and other small animals.) Jungle lynx is a hybrid between the Jungle Cat and Bobcat, bred as an exotic pet.
