Female Lynx and Kitten

Lynxes are known for the black tufts of fur on the tips of their ears and their thick fur.

National Geographic is working to avert the big cats' extinction with the Big Cats Initiative, a comprehensive program that supports innovative projects with quick results for saving big cats, anti-poaching programs, projects that test new technology and more.
