Traces of lynx and wolverines (early winter)

In late winter, warm nights you can hear the lynx males loud meow and howl like cats, only bass. Occasionally, bobcats bite so hard that the snow on the ground of such fights is, covered with blood and littered with torn scraps of wool. Lynx - a big strong cat, with tassels on the ears, the size of a dog with a thick, powerful legs. She lives, except for the northern taiga forests in the major middle band, in the west and the North Caucasus. Imprint of the cat's paws of the lynx resembles a trace, but it's much more. Consider a domestic cat paw. Soles she had not omitted Lynx - a good walker. Step it big. Distance from track to track (one side) to 80 cm walks it's not like the wolf and the fox, whose feet tread on almost a straight line. In lynx tracks are zigzag and located on either side of the midline. When the trot walk alone or the whole family, they, like wolves, go single file and tread all in one track. This instinct, saving power. After all, easier to follow the beaten track than fight their new one. Home prey lynx - a hare. With the extinction of the rabbits disappear, and lynx. Lynx prefers to grab his victim a sudden leap. She acts more often than not after, and steals and attacks from ambush. In this regard, it has a lot to do with Wolverine. This beast just looks awkward and clumsy, but in reality it is quite clever, even climbing trees. Bold predator wolverine attacks even in young reindeer. Wolverine is able to choose a large branch hanging over the trail. He is patiently and she suddenly falls on the neck passing under a tree deer or deer. In winter, she walks in the footsteps of hunters, and checks them apart traps and snares. Quickness helps her in these traps to keep out the most, as bait to pull out of them. Even more offensive when the hunter is in a trap gnawed bones and scraps of wool eaten ermine, and even sable. That is why, although the wolverine little appreciated, no hunter would spare no charge, when he happened to meet his handbag thief traps. Born, they are ridiculously small, not on the growth of such a large animal like a bear. Before the snow melting, ie, until April, is a bear with cubs in the den, not taking any food. But she has not only fast, but still, in addition, to feed their helpless blind offspring. It seems incredible, how can it withstand a long post under these circumstances? The mystery - in the huge reserves of fat, which she put on weight during the summer and fall prior to hibernation. These stocks have enough to keep her and her life in the winter, and for milk production, which she feeds the cubs. In vain would seek winter bear footprints in the snow. Bear good reason lies in the den before the snow. For him, it would be much more dangerous if he has to do it later. After all the tracks could easily find his lair. An exception is the so-called bear-rod, which roams the woods in winter and long can not find peace. Mostly it bears, driven from their dens and After working up a little fat. In any case, the connecting rods are very rare. Look for their tracks almost useless.
