Cat Given Name: Lynx
Common Name(s): Bobcat,  Canada Lynx
Other Name(s): Wildcat,  Bay Lynx,  Red Lynx,  Barred Bobcat,  Pallid Bobcat,  Loup cervier
Scientific Name(s): Lynx rufus,  Lynx canadensis
Physical Description: A tawny feline with long legs, a short body, tufted ears and huge paws. Its coat is very dense. The animal itself, who is designed to be at its best in winter, is such a color that it is also properly camouflaged in summer.
Physical Statistics: Weight: 11-37 Pounds (5-17 Kilograms)
Behavior: A northern beast who, despite being rather timid, is known for a fierce and dangerous disposition. The Lynx is rare in the cats world, with the proximity of humans typically repelling them in all but the toughest seasons.
Social Organization: Solitary; While Lynx territories frequently overlap, the cats themselves are solitary. They group together only to mate.
Danger Level: High (All cats are vulnerable); The lynx is designed for hunting snowshoe hare, placing feral cats firmly in their ideal prey-size range and well within their hunting capabilities. In deep winter, large cats are particularly vulnerable as they are hindered by snow.
Approval Level*: Administrator; Lynx are rare in the cats' forest, and are highly dangerous and keep large territories, meaning they affect more than one clan.
*Some creatures require approval to appear in RP. This is to make sure the Admins and Mods who need to know are fully aware of a beast currently active in their area.
These ratings are mainly for those creatures that cats cannot simply drive off.
