Linx info
A Lynx is any of several medium-sized wild cats. Lynxes have short tails, and usually a tuft of hair on the tip of the ears. They have large paws padded for walking on snow, and long whiskers on the face. The color of the body varies from light brown to grey and is occasionally marked with dark brown spots, especially on the limbs.
The lynx inhabits the high altitude forests with dense cover of shrubs, reeds and grass.
The Lynx is usually solitary, although a group of cats 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 at a time. It feeds on birds and mammals and often on sheep and goats.

Hi Ralf,
Greetings, welcome to TN. A lovely shot, great composition and framing and excellent detail. Great light too, it really is a great portrait shot. My only nit is that the colours don't look natural, they look over-saturated to me.
Regards,
Adrian

Hello Ralf , Welcom to tn , A Great shot from the lynx , good sharpnes details pov and framing ,Have a nice weekend Teunie .

What are the circumstances under which this picture was taken? Was this in a wild animal park, or in the wild?? It is absolutely amazingly beautiful. It does look a little oversaturated but still a stunning picture.

Thanks for sharing
