Lynx - Tumblr Posts
hello! I am echo, a questioning therian. I can trying to determine two things: am I a therian? And if so, what’s my thereotype?
Some behaviors of mine that might be animalistic:
I love night time. to the point I get 4-6 hours of sleep some nights bc I’ll just get up and walk around the dark house at midnight
normally I’m afraid of the dark, but sometimes something happens and I almost like it?
winter is life
I’m very antisocial lmao
I’ve always run up the stairs on all fours
I love sneaking up on things
I have pretty good hearing
I absolutely love fuzzy things
i have 0 fear of heights
most of my dreams I see through a birds eye view perspective, like above me
before I even considered the idea of being a therian, my bed is a loft bed with curtains around the sides, almost like a den ehe
I have always loved exploring the forest at our cabin up north
there was a time where I’d growl as someone when I was upset with them, but after continuous weird looks and asks to stop, I eventually stopped.
I believe my behaviors are most like a lynx? But I’m not quite sure :p
Все мы нежно любим котиков, и я не исключение. Но одно явление в мире кошачьих, на мой взгляд, достойно особого внимания и восхищения - это лапы канадской рыси.
Sweden has issued licences to hunters to kill a total of 201 lynx, weeks after dozens of wolves were killed in the country’s biggest wolf cull in modern times.
The number of licences to kill lynx throughout March, issued by Sweden’s country administrations, is more than double the number in recent years.
The planned cull is out of all proportion to any danger to livestock or people, say wildlife conservationists and activists, who are asking the EU to take action against Sweden for breaching environmental law.
“This is a trophy hunt, just like going to Africa to hunt lions,” said Magnus Orrebrant, the head of Svenska Rovdjursföreningen, an animal rights advocacy group that has started a petition calling for the trophy hunting of lynx to be stopped. “Hundreds of foreign hunters come to Sweden for lynx hunting because they think it is exciting.”
Conservationists warned last month that the lynx population in Europe could collapse unless immediate efforts are made to protect the animals. Tests on the remaining cats in France show that their genetic diversity is so low they will become locally extinct within the next 30 years without intervention.
There are around 1,450 lynx spread across Sweden, about 300 fewer than 10 years ago. Naturvårdsverket, the Swedish environmental protection agency, argues that the country needs only 870 animals to maintain a healthy population.
The Swedish hunters’ association, Svenska Jägareförbundet, admits the lynx do not pose a danger to humans. Henrik Falk, an adviser to the association, told the Guardian: “The hunt is absolutely not linked to any danger to humans. Neither is wolf hunting – there are no documented cases of wolves attacking humans in Swedish modern times.
“The lynx hunt is more about the excitement, and for some hunters, of course, the skin is the motivation.”
Lynx, like most other game animals in Sweden, are hunted using dogs. The EU Habitats Directive specifies that hunting may be allowed either to prevent damage to livestock or in the interests of public safety.
It is “strongly questionable” that either of these conditions applies to lynx in Sweden, said Benny Gäfwert, a predator expert at the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). “We do not think the hunters can invoke these exceptions, and we have notified the EU Commission,” Gäfwert said.
“That hunting occurs, we do not, in itself, have a problem with, but the extent to which it occurs in relation to the low damage caused by the lynx is unwarranted.”
The WWF is also challenging Sweden’s explanation for its ongoing wolf cull, Gäfwert said.
Historically, lynx have ranged across Eurasia but have come under intense pressure in many countries from habitat loss, inbreeding, poaching and traffic collisions. In Britain, calls to reintroduce lynx to the wild were rejected last month by the environment minister, Thérèse Coffey.
Conservationists point to the role of lynx in controlling Sweden’s large population of deer, moose and boar.
The lynx hunt in Sweden is taking place during the mating season when their fur is thickest, making it particularly attractive to hunters, said Marie Stegard Lind of anti-hunting group Jaktkritikerna. “This is completely unnecessary – a pure trophy hunt,” she said.

Frostbreath VII
Fashionably late but I did it! It's the seventh time I've drawn this lynx. This year's piece is very different from the previous ones but I think that is good. New directions are also important to explore.
Not even I know where this lynx will be in a year so let's find out together, eh?
Find me and my art elsewhere!
Imaged mauled a bit for the purpose of tumblr posting; view them all in order here!
(Almost) Every cat in the felidae family! There are of course, always debates among taxonomists about which cat is in which subfamily, and whether subspecies actually deserve to be a species in of themselves. This is a simplification. Of course kitties here aren’t to scale and color tweaked/caricatured to give them more appeal.
As with almost everything I’ve been posting lately, I’ll be selling this as a poster at Ottawa Comiccon~
Sharing with my progress of my art and my first OC. (2013/14-2024)
Her name is Lion's Comet and she have that name because of my Cats Warriors phase and still have it because I get used to it. And then she was just a cat, but now it has become her spiritual form and has turned into a lynx.
And yeah, she is my SoLavellan so I draw her prosthetic paw and recent addition: halla horns (but this not because of Solavellan but because of the fact that she's not fully herself but that's another story)
Btw Varric's nickname for her is Star Kitty or just Star 😺
And this is her in CC Inquisition (her hair more red in the bright light actually)
Oopsie, these are a bunch of characters from a Beastars rp group I’m in that I drew as ac characters! None of them belong to me, but also as far as I know none of their owners have tumblrs. There’s gonna be some more tomorrow, but for now, here’s the gang!
The Three Orphans
Lynx, Wolf, and Bear are the only orphans in their town. Wolf is the timid one in the blue. He’s usually cautious about everything and is tragically indecisive. Lynx’s in the red, the most adventurous out of everyone. He’s the type to run straight into danger. Wolf usually looks after him. Lynx has no fear, nothing scares him. He only find things interesting, never scary.
Bear gets along well with Lynx, but she finds Wolf extremely annoying seemingly for no reason. Eagle is usually the peacekeeper and tells Bear to just tolerate him. Nevertheless, they are great friends.
Lynx and wolf. A couple of color/photo studies I painted some time ago.
