While residing in Canada, Allison Burton recently caught sight of a substantial, furry creature nonchalantly parading along her street. Initially, she mistook it for a dog.

Belonging to the Felidae family, the Lynx is among the group of short-tailed cats, comprising four species. These majestic felines inhabit the lush forests of Europe, Asia, and Northern America.

Possessing long legs, large paws, and distinctive hairy ears, Lynx are characterized by their feathery soles and broad, short heads. Their coat, ranging from tawny to beige, displays brown and black spots, while their ear tufts and tail tips sport a striking black coloration.

During winter, their fur becomes dense and sleek, with hairs reaching up to 10 cm in length. Known for their stealthy nature, Lynx are typically silent creatures, exhibiting nocturnal behavior except during their mating season.
