THE COMMON LYNX. Stealth and agility characterize the movements of the Lynx, which is a restless hunter and a relentless foe of all small 



animals. Few beasts are more watchful of their young than the female Wild Boar, yet even her vigilance is no match for the cunning of the Lynx. In this 

 picture the artful animal has invaded the porcine litter, securing a little victim at a single spring, and has then as rapidly reached a place of safety in the tree, 

 where, with its prey in its mouth it views, without apparent compunction, the impotent rage of the bereaved mother below. (Lynx vulgaris.)
