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 pick 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 larger the area must be.
