The Eurasian lynx is one of four lynx species.
It’s a medium-sized cat which means it’s bigger than your average house cat but smaller than a tiger.
They’re not generally considered to be a threat to humans, but they do hunt animals like deer, birds, rabbits and mice.
Sally Holt, head of carnivores and small mammals at Wildwood, said:
“While some people misunderstand lynx and how they live, in reality, lynx are shy, solitary animals that avoid human contact and play an important role in keeping ecosystems healthy.
“Part of our job at Wildwood is to help people see the lynx for what it truly is – a quiet, elusive predator of deer that once helped balance our natural landscapes.”
