Lynxes

Most weigh between ten and thirty pounds, but sometimes a large male may be up to forty pounds.

No, there are only 2 dcumented lynx attacks in the U.S. One was a guy carring his hunt of numerous snowshoe hares. The other was a guy wearing buckskin. both were mostlikely mistaken idenity.

Technically...you probably could. I cannot see why someone would want to, though.

But in situation of dire hunger, yes, a person could possibly eat lynx, although I am unaware of the taste.

This could be thought very offensive, and even animal abuse if one did this though, as well as possibly being illegal in some countries.

Yes and no. 'Lynx' is a genus of cat. There are four species in this genus.

From largest to smallest.

Lynx lynx - Asian lynx

Lynx canadensis - Canadian lynx

Lynx pardinus - Iberian lynx

Lynx rufus - Red lynx (aka bobcat)

I'm assuming by 'lynx' you mean the Canadian lynx. The bobcat is a separate species from the Canadian lynx. They share the same genus/family of cats, but they are not the same species.

An adult human is too large for a lynx to attack, but they can kill small children. This however, would be extremely rare, as most cats fear people.

Canines run in packs . . . wolves, for instance.

Cats, including the lynx, are generally loners, except when they seek out a mate during mating season.

Two to four.

The male is larger than the female, with the average weight of males 12.9 kilograms (28 lb) and a maximum of 26.8 kilograms (59 lb), compared to an average of 9.4 kilograms (21 lb) for females.

Yes, the lynx is a wild cat. There are four species.

At birth, Eurasian lynx kittens weigh 240 to 430 grams (8.5 to 15.2 oz) and are blind and helpless. Canada lynx kittens weigh from 175 to 235 g (6.2 to 8.3 oz) at birth. Iberian lynx kittens weigh between 200 and 250 grams (7.1 and 8.8 oz) at birth. At birth a bobcat weighs 0.6 to 0.75 lb (270 to 340 g).

All the organisms that share its ecosystem depend on lynxes but directly effected would be its prey, ie hares, and its predators, ie mountain lions.

I was under the impression that they dont. They are very independent creatures

about 4 or 5 or 6 a lynx can

Mainly rodents, birds, small reptiles.

The Canada lynx is considered a species of least concern, meaning it is still fairly common over much of its range.

Neither. They are nocturnal, sneaky and solitary. They don't go looking for trouble, as they sleep most of the day. They hunt to eat, so for their prey, they may be considered aggressive. But around wolves they wouldn't necessarily be passive either, but avoid them at all costs. Same around humans and other large carnivores. Passive means, to me, submit, become inactive. Only when they are sleeping, I guess they are passive, but surely they find bushes and crevices to hide so they are not seen or bothered by others (which is an action).

Yes, the Iberian Lynx is a vertebrate so it has a backbone.

it can spot a mouse 250 feet away from it's spot and it makes sounds such as mews,yowls,spits,hisses,and purrs.

Lynx hunt their food.

1-5 lynx kittens are born at once. If the mother is fed well she can have even 6 or 7. If not she will either have 1-3 babies, or none. Lynx in the winter babies are born covered with a wrapping that they formed in. The mother quickly eats the covering so the babies, or kittens, can breath, and the mother eats and gets nutriention.

There are four species of lynx. Of these, three are least concern. Only the Iberian lynx is threatened, with a conservation status of Critically Endangered. They are threatened due to habitat loss, road casualties, feral dogs, poisoning (now illegal), poaching, and a decline in the population of rabbits, one of their main food sources.

Eukaryote. Animalia is a kingdom under the domain Eukarya.

It stays with its mother for 9 to 12 months.

30 million animals r killed in fur farms per year. however lynxes are protected and 100 die per year.
