it sometimes attacks such ungulates as roe deer and musk deer. The cat hunts mainly at night. The lynx leads a settled life, migrating only when food is scarce. The cat climbs trees easily. Mating takes place in February or March. After a gestation period of nine or ten weeks, a litter...
Study of livestock worrying in Australia indicates that two dogs are involved in the majority of attacks.5 The nature and site of the injuries is, to some extent, dependent on the size of the dog and the type of sheep. Large dogs are able to bite adults over the chest and lumbar ...
The medium-sized Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) is not thought to be affected by conflict with humans. However, parallel to an increase in the range of the Iberian lynx in AndA(0)jar-Cardea, an increased incidence of Iberian lynx attacks on livestock has been recorded. A 6-year overview of...
"Human bobcat interactions are extremely, extremely rare and attacks on humans are even more rare," said Laura Conlee of the state's Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. How do you tell the difference between a bobcat and a lynx? Bobcats are the smallest cats in the species with stubby tails...
It’s rare for lynx to attack pets or livestock near humans, explained Diana Dryburgh-Moraal, spokesperson for the Department of Environment. Several incidents of lynx attacks this year, including in McIntyre and in Beaver Creek last month, are signs that lynx are struggling to find food. ...

These cats live in the cooler areas of northern Europe, North America and Asia. Most lynx are built for the cold, with thick fur coats and special paws. When it takes a step, the lynx's paws spread out, making it easier for it to walk on snow. It is like having built-in snowshoe...
(i.e., lynx attacks on sheep), high turn-over of adult females (replaced by younger individuals) could potentially explain our findings. Compared to adult females (≥3 years old), two-year old females have shown a lower breeding proportion in different study sites across Scandinavia46, ...
Scientists working on the LIFE IBERLINCE project have spent six years studying the hunting behaviour of the Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus), registering a total of 40 attacks with 716 farm animals killed. Their results indicate that, although the resulting
