When the hare population increased what happened to the lynx population and why?

Hares are a food source for lynxes. Lynxes are a predator of hares. Hares rely on plants for food and lynxes rely on hares (inter alia) for food. If the hare population increases due, perhaps, to lots of good plant food, then the lynxes (and maybe the foxes) have more food and can support more babies which survive to maturaty. Too many lynxes and too few hares means not enough food for the lynxes. Baby lynxes starve and the balance is adjusted. JCF


How long is a lynxes tail?

A lynx's tail typically measures about 4 to 7 inches (10 to 18 centimeters) in length. It is short and often has a distinctive black tip. The tail's length can vary slightly among different lynx species, such as the Eurasian lynx, Canada lynx, and bobcat. This short tail is a characteristic feature that helps differentiate lynxes from other wildcats.
