A lynx is a medium-sized wildcat, usually bigger than bobcats. It has a real short tail.
A lynx's warm coat helps it stay warm and hunt better in the winter. It's usually gray in the winter, and it sheds fur in spring to get ready for summer. It's brown in the summer.
Unlike tigers, they're good at climbing, and unlike most cats, they like swimming and are great swimmers.
Lynx live quite a bit north of the equator in cold climates.
There used to be more lynx in Minnesota, but now they are a threatened animal.
