More accurately called the Caracal:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caracal
is not a true lynx at all.
So, why the science lesson?
Because I believe that everyone has a animal spirit in them. Mine is the caracal. Small, strong, often confused mistaken as being something it's not...
I'm not sure why my animal is the caracal, but I know it is. I know this because I have been drawn to them for a while. Until recently I thought they were lynxes, so I thought I was a lynx. I have a picture one my laptop of a caracal and every time I see it, I feel a sense of oneness with it. Very mystical and weird, I know. :) I am weird. Perhaps this is why the idea appeals to me :p
