Endangered species, lynx???

Question

hello people enywaz i am doing a report on lynx. can you guys pleas help me by giving me your opinion on how it would effect our world if lynx whent extinc??????

Answer 1

Lynx has come so close to extinct that its extinction could not have much of an impact. If there is a significant effect it has to be from environmental deterioration that has driven it to extinction.

I recall these cats from my youth near Wawa Ontario... they were something I did not relish encountering, but they also did not want to meet me. so it was a standoff.  I never felt the deep fear of lynx the way I had of cougar. But even cougar mostly avoided contact, fortunately.

However, there was always an eagerness to bag a lynx. I never knew why. perhaps they were so easy, they would sit so still while a hunter was lining up a rifle so carefully. And their screams would let a hunter know just where to look, from a km away. How did they survive so long?

Around Wawa they seemed to be able to take small deer, beaver, weasels, and of course rabbits

But they were not the only predator eating those species. The were the only cat.

They could move very quickly for about 50 metres, but a wolfe, coyote, even fox could keep runnning almost forever, outrun anyh prey. A litter of coyotes could clean out all of the prey in a valley leaving  really slim pickings for a lynx.

A lynx would just have to move on.

Answer 2

omg i didn't know about this specie

but wow its so cute

it can't go extinct because people need to get a chance

to know how those animals interact, hunt, live and influence

nature.

well by the its looks i can see they are going extinct because of over hunting for their beautiful fur for clothing

well answering ur question it might effect our world by we losing the fine art of its look and its pray might over grown

lets say it eats rats and mice and if it gets extinct the population of mice and rats would increase in the area and effect earth population of mice and rats by 1/2

Answer 3

THe relationship between the Northern Hare and Lynx is well studied.   This study led to the understanding of predator prey relationships and how that relationship factors into the population dynamics for both species.   If the lynx were to go extinct the Northern Hare population would increase beyond the available food source, resulting in starving Hares. Until a new predator filled the void left by the Lynx.   This is a simple answer to your question.

    I am concerned with the extinction of any animal especially top predators, these are natures way of population control, (for vermin, hares, etc..).
