Does a lynx have retractable claws?

No, lynxes do not have retractable claws.

While they are sharp and powerful, their claws are semi-retractable. This means they can partially retract into sheaths, but they don't fully retract like a cat's claws.

This is a common adaptation for animals that rely on their claws for hunting and climbing, as it allows them to keep their claws sharp and effective while also protecting them from wear and tear.
