A feline mostly harmless to humans
0
0
The European lynx is the largest feline in Europe. It looks like a big cat and also purrs, but the comparison ends there. It is fairly high on its legs (about 1.96 ft / 60 cm) and its pads are wider (2 sq inches / 13 cm² for 1.55 sq inches /10 cm² in the cat). Its tail is short and its spotted coat gives it first-rate camouflage. The lynx hunts at night and rests in the sun or under cover during the day. There are no cases of attacks on humans to date. The feline only goes after what it can eat (deer, small rodents, birds).
