Introduction to the Eurasian Lynx

This project is about creating a Web site for an endangered species. It is required by the Web Publishing course for Sweetwater High School, of which I am a high school student.

My instructor, Mr. Lopez, provided me a list of endangered species; I then had to select the endangered species for the Web site I am going to create.

The endangered species I selected for this project is the Eurasian Lynx. I chose the Eurasian lynx because it is one of the fiercest cats.

The Eurasian lynx is the largest of the lynxes. Adult males weigh on average 21.6 kg, while females are slightly smaller at 18.1 kg. The lynxes of eastern Siberia consistently reach the greatest size. The Eurasian lynx has relatively long legs, and large feet which provide a "snowshoe effect", allowing for more efficient travel through deep snow. In winter, the fur grows very densely on the bottom of the feet. The coat is grayish, with tint varying from rusty to yellowish. A bright reddish tint, with profuse spotting, is seen most frequently in the south-western part of the lynx's range.
