Eurasian Lynx

Feb, 2021

Lynx lynx inhabits the northern and northwestern regions of Iran. It is widely distributed from Europe through Central Asia, Russia, and China. There are fragmented populations in Europe and the Middle East. In Iran, it is also referred to as "siah goush," meaning black ear, due to the tufts of black hair that protrude from the tops of its ears.
