Here you can see the typical small tuft of black hair on the ears of the lynx.
This is easily the biggest cat species in central Europe and a very impressive sight.

Another typical feature of the Lynx is its short, stubby tail.
Again, these pictures were taken at the “Fasanerie” in Wiesbaden, Germany.

    this is the biggest wild cat to be found in Western Europe. It is quite big but somehow less popular than a puma or the really big relatives like lions or tigers.
