The Missing Lynx Project

Lynx kittens will often play with their siblings to develop their skills and social bonds. Play can involve wrestling, chasing, jumping and ‘hunting’ each other. If things get out of hand and a kitten becomes aggressive, mum will intervene.

It’s #WorldRewildingDay! Rewilding is all about bringing nature back and restoring natural processes. Lynx could play an important role in the future of our woodlands. Share your views on their potential return at https://lnkd.in/e5CCVkG7 #RewildingTogether

Lynx have already been reintroduced to countries across Europe. In some regions, they’ve become part of the area’s identity, appearing on murals and merchandise.

In the wild, lynx can live to be around 12-13 years old. The first year of a lynx’s life is often the toughest, with only half of the kittens from a litter surviving.

So good they named it twice! Did you know the scientific name of the Eurasian lynx is 'Lynx lynx'? It’s thought the word lynx may come from the word ‘leuk-’, meaning ‘light’ or ‘brightness’ – a reference to the lynx’s shining eyes and night vision.
