However, a comparison of genotypes of hookworms from lynxes and cats would help to confirm this hypothesis.
Lynxes and cats shared four of these species, whereas mongooses and genets did not share any parasite species with the other carnivores.
Fossils of small female leopards can sometimes be confused with large male lynxes.
Doana lynxes have differentiated more from the ancestral population as a result of their longer isolation and lower population size.
Predators include golden eagles, grizzly and black bears, wolves, coyotes, red foxes, lynxes, cougars and wolverines.
Predation primarily occurs with lambs, which are hunted by coyotes, bobcats, lynxes and golden eagles.
Chicks grow very quickly, by 6 months being nearly two-thirds of their adult size, and are predated by foxes, lynxes, wolves, dogs, jackals and eagles.
The arplaninac has been known to fight or chase off wolves, lynxes and even bears.
