The Eurasian Lynx

The Eurasian Lynx is a medium-sized cat. Which is found in Siberia, North Asia, South Asia and Europe. Even though it is not endangered at all in Eurasia, it is critically endangered in Lithuania. The Eurasian Lynx is the biggest of its species. They can grow from 80 to 300cm (31 to 51in). Males usually weigh from 18 to 30 kg (40 to 66 lb) and females weigh 8 to 21 kg (18 to 46 lb). The Eurasian Lynx preys for small to fairly big animals, for ex. hares, rabbits, mice, dormice, foxes, deer, reindeer and other animals. The Eurasian Lynx lives in a rugged forested area. This provides great opportunities for hideouts and a way to stalk prey. The Eurasian Lynx is a pretty tough predator. It can kill a 150 kg (330 lb) male deer.

What can we do to help endangered animals?

Now you might be wondering HOW CAN WE HELP ENDANGERED ANIMALS? Well if you were, here are some solutions:
  • Write an e-mail to organizations ex. www.panda.org.
  • Make a website/blog. If you want to make a website, here's an awesome free website maker, www.wix.com.
  • Make posters and promote the idea of supporting endangered animals.
  • If big organizations like WWF don't work, you could just try to talk to your county officials, or mayor.
You also might be thinking, WHY SHOULD I HELP?
  • In a few years your country could be known as a baren wasteland with no animals.
  • Some endangered animals could go extinct 
Don't make the mistake. Only YOU can make the change.
