Lynx Jumps 2 Metres Straight Up! | Deadly 60 | Series 2 | BBC Earth
Ойын-сауық
The Deadly 60 team head for the Polar Zoo where they are studying Lynx. Steve Backshall watches them climb and admits to being a little nervous as one climbs a tree just above his head. He suspends a piece of meat to show how they can jump over two meters.

Lynx never seem to show much agression to humans. Bobcats seem to show more but that is usually when they have been caught in a trap or the human has a dog with them. Lynx seem to be very chill when they encounter humans.

RuleofFive You're forgetting that they are wild though and still very unpredictable. Just because the ones you have encountered have ran away doesn't mean every Lynx in the world will. Especially since the environment, in which these Lynx have been brought up in, influence/impact their behaviours. Either way it's better to be safe than sorry when in Steve's situation.

ボスちゃん "Either way it's better to be safe than sorry when in Steve's situation. " "Steve" put himself in that situation with a camera man filming the whole thing. People aren't a target for Lynx because we're too big. Yes they're hunters but even lions won't risk their lives to attack say a male elephant. Lynx are the same way. People are misinformed about the false dangers of a lot of animals and sometimes that ignorance gets these animals killed. Its not right.
@happychaos
9 жыл бұрын
RuleofFive Yes, Steve put himself in that situation. But that still doesn't mean he shouldn't take the necessary precautions to keep himself safe. Besides Lynx and almost any wild animals are still very unpredictable; the majority of the Lynx species may not hunt larger animals. However, like I said, each animal is not going to act in the same way. Nature isn't 90% predictable, so anything can happen. I mean, you have generalised a whole species of lions. Saying that they won't attack a male elephant. However there have been recordings of lions attacking grown elephants.
Absolutely awesome

We had barn cats on the farm and any one of them could jump that high. I saw a barn cat climb a ladder 20 feet high, grab a pheasant chick in its mouth and leap back down touching just one rung of the ladder. I have seen barn cats walk into the swamp and swim across without hesitation. Also, I have see cats panting like a dog after running flat out for a long distance. House cats have lost most of their physical abilities due to lack of exercise and over weight.

marlon alston A lynx is about 4-5 times the size of a domestic cat, has much more powerful hind legs, and most certainly can jump way higher. An average lynx has a length of about a meter. When a lynx stretches its extremities that almost doubles its length (height). When that lynx got up on his hind legs and stretched his front paws all he had to jump was at best 2 feet (probably less). Which is nothing for a lynx. Watch the video - the animal is hardly jumping. He just got up on his hind legs, reached out, and then hopped a little. Smart guy my ass.
Just noticed. They have round pupils, not slits. Odd for a cat.
