Lynx (animal)
The lynx is a type of wild cat that hunts predominately in the dense forests of mountains, avoiding the territories of wolves and other, larger hunters. They are solitary creatures, spending most of their time prowling their vast woodlands during the evening. Though they primarily hunt on the forest floor, lynx are adept climbers and swimmers.
The Lynx's solitary nature and the rugged woodland they inhabit make it a challenge for any hunter without keen eyes. I've climbed up and through this dense wilderness since before dawn, following light tracks, excrement, and the leftover bones of its prey, before coming upon a craggy rock face with several trees whose branches face what seems to be a shallow hideaway at the face's top. There's a very good chance my prey is up there, but I should be cautious. Falling from that height would not be ideal.
