lynx
With a pounce and a hop the speedy lynx chases the bleached white hare through the bushes. Poof! The hare disappears into the shiny white powder. Then the sly lynx picks up the scent of the hare and pounces toward the small hairball. The sharp elongated claws don't dig in, and the hare's long slender legs launch himself out of the hole and out of danger. The swift cat swings his claws around to hit the fast hare, but he hits the snow right under his back legs. The hare runs right between two willow trees and into a narrow opening which has a bunch of fallen willow trees. The hare has escaped from the lynx this one time, but the lynx will find other food. The lynx is a pale brown to brownish grey with black streaks on its neck, forehead, and on the back. It has a short tail, long tuffed ears, long slender legs, wide feet for control in the snow, and long very soft fur. The lynx will grow to be 30 to 40 inches long, and 24 to 28 inches high from feet to shoulders. They usually weight 15 to 45 pounds. When you see the lynx, at first sight
Adult males usually hunt alone, not in packs like wolves. The lynx are usually found in climax forests and dense undercovers. When food is not abundant the female lynx might not have a litter at all that year or not until the hares have come back. We usually use ptarmagin wings Which were shot earlier in the year. Overall I think that lynx are one of my favorite animals in Alaska. When the population of the hares are up the litters of 2 to 4 kittens have a lot better chance to survive in the wilderness with their parents. The lynx is closely related to the bobcat, which populates the north American region. The huge feet of the lynx give it superb agility in the snow. It sits there calmly accepting its death.
