Young Lynx
The shy and reclusive Lynx is often called the "grey ghost of the North". It is easily distinguised by its oversized paws; shorter, black-tipped tail; long, thick fur; prominent face ruffs and ears that are more pointed with longer tufts.

The femalelynx usually produce a single litter of 3-4 kittens between May and July. They are born under uprooted trees or in hollow logs that typify the old growth boreal forests where most Lynx reside. Lynx kits look like domestic kittens. They are reared solely by their mother but will be ready to establish their own range by the following spring.
