Lynx ... or felinae!
The lynx's smallest species is the Canada lynx, while the biggest species is the Eurasian lynx. When the Iberian lynx almost went extinct in 1970, it became illegal to hunt lynx in most countries. Although they are typically land animals, they can swim in water to hunt for fish, and can climb trees as well.
Lynx are found most frequently in forests or tall grasses, as they like sheltered areas. In the late winter, a mother lynx usually becomes pregnant, and after 70 days, will give birth to 2 to 4 cubs, each of which will stay with her until the next winter.
Apart from mating season, lynx are solitary animals. Rarely they hunt together in small groups of 2 or 3, but prefer to hunt on their own.
