| TT - Siberian Lynx Facts |
*Lynxes are solitary animals who hunt at night using their sense of smell and keen eyesight
*They are tireless walkers, although they rarely ever run
*They swim well and their broad feet are excellent snow shoes in the winter
*The name Lynx comes from the Greek word "to shine", possibly in reference to the reflective ability of the cat's eyes
*They are often confused with their smaller cousins, the Bobcat
*The tips of their tails look like they've been dipped into ink
*Lynxes live in Asia, Europe and former USSR
*They live up to around 17 years in the wild and 24 years in captivity
*They can reach up to 80 pounds
