Euraziatische lynx

"Om een prooi te vangen spring ik er bovenop. Als ik genoeg heb gegeten ga ik lekker rusten tussen de bosjes of in een boom."

Predator

In my habitat, along with the wolf and brown bear, I am the largest predator. I hunt large prey animals such as deer, chamois and red deer. Small animals such as rabbits and birds, I also eat. To make it easier for myself, I prefer to choose a weakened animal.

Stooping

I sneak after prey while hiding in the bushes. To catch prey I jump on top of it. When I've eaten enough I go to rest among the bushes or in a tree.

Large habitat

I am an animal that lives alone. My habitat is 5,000 to 560,000 soccer fields in size! The less food there is to be found, the bigger the area must be.
