About<\/h3><\/div>

The lynx is Sweden\u2019s only wild feline. It shares the body shape of a domestic cat, but its larger size, short tail, and distinctive ear tufts make it easy to tell apart. The lynx has been voted Sweden\u2019s most popular animal on several occasions. Its coat is beige to light brown, sometimes with distinct spots and sometimes almost uniform in colour. An adult lynx typically weighs 15\u201325 kg.<\/p>\n

Lynx hunt reindeer, deer, and smaller prey. They are swift runners over short distances and rely on stealth, sneaking up on their prey before making a sudden leap. The lynx is a solitary animal; females raise their young alone for about a year. Mating takes place in spring, and the cubs are born in early summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>
