| | Eurasian Lynx lynx Carnivora Felidae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) |
 | | The Eurasian Lynx was once considered a subspecies of the bob-tailed cat complex that includes the Canada Lynx, Lynx canadensis, Iberian Lynx, Lynx pardinus, and the Bobcat, Lynx rufus. |
 | | Like all the lynx species, Eurasian Lynx show a preference for rabbits and hares, but their larger size also allows them to hunt larger prey, such as roe deer, musk deer and young red deer. |
 | | Eurasian Lynx eat a variety of mammals, from mice, picas and squirrels, to marmots and wild boar piglets, to other carnivores such as martens, foxes, badgers, and wildcats. |
