The Eurasian lynx is nearly twice as large as its relative, the Canada lynx, with females weighing up to 50 pounds and males weighing up to 84 pounds. They live in Scandinavia and throughout the northern reaches of Russia. They prefer a forested habitat of dense undergrowth and cover. Being large cats, they can go after game as large as deer, although they also eat mice, rabbits, birds and other small animals. Siberian Lynxes are solitary animals which only come together to mate. They are still legally hunted for their beautiful spotted furs. The hunting of all other spotted cats was banned in 1975.
