Lynx

They are endangered because thier food is disappearing and hunting for fur. Mommies have 2-3 babies. They can hide in stumps or fallen logs. Their cousin is a bobcat. They hunt at night so people hardly see them. They have so good eyesight that when it is a full moon and its in the middle of the night they can still see.
I'm mad at the humans that kill them! I like them becasue they are a kind of cat. If I saw one i would hug it and kiss it and keep it for a pet. I think they are cute, adorable, nice, they would kiss me and I love them!
