Lynx lynx Lynx canadensis Lynx pardinus Lynx rufus |
Lynxes have short tails, and usually a tuft of hair on the tip of the ears. They range about 5 kg (roughly the size of a large Domestic Cat) up to about 30 kg.
The Marbled Cat , Pardofelis marmorata, is sometimes also classified with the Lynxes.
Hunting Lynxes is illegal in many countries.
As of 2003, the Lynx is being reintroduced to Colorado.
