Eurasian lynx all look alike.

FALSE. Their coats can vary a great deal

from cat to cat. Some are striped, oth-

ers are spotted, and some don’t have any

pattern. Color varies too.

too cool of a cat to survive in snow.

and makes it perfectly adapted to live in

Siberia and other northern, cold habitats.

This 40-pound cat eats only

20-pound prey.

FALSE. The Eurasian lynx can hunt large

hoofed animals that are three to four

times its own size.

There is no link between the

Canada lynx and the Eurasian

lynx.

False. They’re closely related, but live in

separate parts of the world.
