The Eurasian lynx dwells mostly in forests throughout Europe and Asia. In the Himalayas, they can be found all the way up to 14,000 feet in elevation. During a single hunt, the Eurasian lynx can cover as much as 5 miles.

This species of lynx will hunt a variety of prey items including hares, rodents, deer, and wild pigs. During the spring and summer, their diet can also include squirrels, pheasants, and marmots. Eurasian lynx will sometimes try to hide a larger unfinished meal, but more often than not, they are chased off by other predators and scavengers. 

Even though they as listed as Least Concern, the Eurasian lynx still faces the threat of being poached for their fur. However, there are legal protections or restrictions in place throughout most European counties to keep the lynx population stable. There have also been some successful reintroductions of the Eurasian lynx, particularly in countries like Slovenia, Austria, and Switzerland.
