As is the case with most wild animals, Lynx are only dangerous in certain situations.

The two main reasons a lynx will attack are:

Cornering:

NEVER corner a lynx(or any animal). If a lynx feels as though it has no method of escape except through you, then well....you get the idea.

Cubs:

If a lynx is with its cubs then move away at a brisk pace (do not run however). Almost all wild animals are extremely protective of their young, usually more so than of even themselves. If a lynx thinks its young are in any danger what so ever, it will defend them.

Do not let these rare circumstances ruin your opinion of a lynx however. They are truly beautiful creatures. Just be certain to keep your distance and always be aware of your surrounding when viewing them.
