European lynx (captive)        Images © Mark A. Chappell

The lynx is the largest wild cat remaining in Europe (lions used to live in southern Europe within the last few thousand years).   It's much larger than the North American bobcat and is quite capable of catching roe deer.   This animal is in a small zoo near Bialowieza.
