Lincse = Lynx 🐱🐈

An A4 high end fine art lrint of a Lynx head. 🐯The original Celtic Tiger, the Eurasian lynx is a large cat that once roamed Ireland. The European lynx was long thought to have never reached our shores as it was mainly absent from our fossil records. In 1934 a mandible of a young lynx turned up amongst the animal remains excavated from a cave in County Waterford. It was then confirmed that the lynx was in fact a native Irish big cat.🐆

The Irish climate is not ideal for preserving animal remains. If an animal died in the open, the wet climate assists decomposition very well. Wolf and Bear bones are common because they slept and frequently died in caves, Lynx remains however are not so easily found as they live out in the open. 🦴
