A thicket at the edge of a forage field for wildlife. A slightly higher and drier place, signs of a lay: a suitable spot for a lynx to lie in wait for imprudent forest creatures. Although the lynx, as a member of the cat family, is a skilled climber, it never stalks its prey from trees but rather climbs up in them in case of danger. It hunts on the ground as dusk falls, creeping up to its prey with extreme stealth, then springing on it with two-three long jumps. If the attack fails it doesn’t as a rule pursue the prey. Beautiful and powerful, mostly a solitary rover, uses its energy reserves very economically. A fully grown animal’s daily food amount is about one kilo, but all days aren’t alike. Lynxes don’t eat where they killed their prey, but instead up to a few hundred meters away, and always in a sheltered spot. Food remains are concealed with twigs and branches or buried in the snow in winter, but most often foxes or raccoons get the scraps, or they are discovered by observant ravens...
