Eurasian Lynx

These amazing agile creatures

camouflaged, they go un-noticed

short body, long legs and large feet

they remain totally focused

distinctive black tuft tip their ears

hunt using both hearing and sight

they quietly stalk, watch and pounce 

sleeping by day, and active by night

widest ranging feline in the world

Europe`s  mysterious cats

jumping up two metres to cat a bird

these are fabulous acrobats

silent beauties in sheer motion

crafting the skills through twilight

on the lookout for their next kill

hunting the woods by moonlight
