Lynx – Behaviour
General behavioural traits resemble that of a leopard. Lynxes are usually solitary, although a small group of lynxes can travel and hunt together. Mating takes place in the late winter. Its desired resting place is in crevices or under ledges, and it gives birth to 2 to 4 kittens once a year. It feeds on birds and mammals, fish, and often on sheep and goats, but its main prey is the Snowshoe Hare. Lynx (spotted) have been observed (2006) in the Wet Mountains of Colorado. However spotting a lynx is a very rare event in and of itself, due to the extremely shy and solitary nature of the animal.
