Interesting facts about the lynx

The Eurasian lynx is the largest cat of prey in Europe. As its name suggests, it is found in Europe and Asia. He has an unmistakable look. Its fur is light beige to dark red with distinct dark spots. With this fur color, he is well camouflaged in the dense forest. Unlike a puma or a tiger, the lynx has a very short tail with a black tip. A pair of whiskers frames his face, which is dominated by large eyes. The brushes on his ears are striking. It is believed that the small tufts of hair act as a kind of «antenna» and help the lynx to determine the wind direction.
