* Small mammals: This is their primary food source. They hunt rabbits, hares, squirrels, voles, mice, and other small mammals.
* Birds: Lynx can catch and eat birds, especially grouse, partridges, and other ground-dwelling birds.
* Larger animals: Occasionally, a lynx might take down a larger animal like a young deer or a sheep, especially when food is scarce.
* Fish: Lynx living near water may also supplement their diet with fish.
Lynx are very skilled hunters, using their sharp senses and powerful legs to stalk and ambush their prey. They have a very strong bite, which helps them to kill and consume their food.
