Fun Fact: Females Lynx raise one litter per year. Mating mostly occurs in February and March and the gestation period is from eight to ten weeks long. Litters typically have two or three kittens, though the number may range from one to five. The female will nurse the kits for five months, although some meat is eaten as early as one month. The male does not participate in parental care. Young remain with the mother until the following winter’s mating season and siblings may remain together for a while after separation from the mother. Females reach sexual maturity at 21 months and males at 33 months. The lynx lives as long as 12-13 years
