Siberian lynx inhabits forested Europe and Asia regions. Solitary territorial lynxes mark boundaries with urine and feces. Long thick fur coat is reddish yellow-brown with spotting and lighter undersides. They possess a black tipped tail and triangular black tufted ears. Using keen smell and eyesight, they stalk mainly small mammals (hares, squirrels, birds) at night. Lynxes swim well and eat fish. Broad densely furred paws are excellent snowshoes. Sharp claws and teeth are defense aides.

Also called Eurasian Lynx.
