The Eurasian lynx is a medium-sized wildcat which is native ... others that the lynx were unwanted pets perhaps obtained through a black market for exotic animals. Right now, this is all speculation.

The Eurasian lynx is the largest lynx species, with adult lynx males typically weighing between 40 to 70 pounds (18.1 to 31.8 kilograms), although some can reach up to 85 pounds (38.6 kilograms).
