You stroll through the mountains, searching for others of your kind. Prey has reduced, and you need to band together to survive. Fellow Lynxes emerge. You snarl, telling them your story. They nod and say they can accept you into their herd. They race off, and you follow. Then you see more lynxes... Much more lynxes. Pelt Average: I'm going to quote the Wikipedia here: The appearance of the Canada lynx is similar to that of the Eurasian lynx: the dense fur is silvery brown and may bear blackish markings. In summer, its coat takes on a more reddish brown color. It has a furry ruff which resembles a double-pointed beard, a short tail with a black tip, and long furry tufts on its ears. Its long legs with broad furred feet aid in traveling through deep snow.
It is smaller than its Eurasian cousin, at an average weight of 8 to 11 kg (18 to 24 lb), 80 to 105 cm (31 to 41 in) in length, and a shoulder height of 48 to 56 cm (19 to 22 in). Males are larger than females. Although the species is larger on average than the bobcat, it is less variable in size and the largest bobcat outsize the lynx.[7]
Like all lynx, it has 28 teeth, with four long canines for puncturing and gripping. The lynx can feel where it is biting the prey with its canines because they are heavily laced with nerves. The lynx also has four carnassials that cut the meat into small pieces. In order for the lynx to use its carnassials, it must chew the meat with its head to its side. There are large spaces between the four canines and the rest of the teeth, and a reduced number of premolars, to ensure that the bite goes as deeply as possible into the prey.[8]Their behavior: Canada lynxes are secretive and mostly nocturnal animals, although they may be active at any time of day. They shelter in areas of particularly dense forest. In regions where their range overlaps with that of other predators, such as bobcats and coyotes, they tend to hunt in areas with deeper snow cover, or at higher altitudes. These cats tend to stay within 100 yards (91 m) of the treeline, but do not shy away from swimming. One account records a lynx swimming two miles across the Yukon River.[9]
Although normally solitary, at times small groups may be observed traveling together. The lynx roam about 1.5 to 3 mi (2.4 to 4.8 km) each day, and thus require a large territory. Typical home ranges are between 15 and 50 km2 (5.8 and 19.3 sq mi), but are highly variable, with extremes from 3 to 783 km2 (1.2 to 302.3 sq mi) having been reported. When food becomes scarce, the lynx territory will increase; most of the population will roam far, with a select few staying behind in their original territory.[10]
Like other cats, Canada lynx use scent marking to indicate their territory. Adults typically deposit faeces on top of the snow or on tree stumps and other prominent sites and frequently spray urine to mark their range.[10] They also use visual marks on trees.[11]

My application: Username: admin ( ♥ԼƲƝƛ♥ԼƳƝҲ♥) Cat's name: Luna Gender: Female Age: 2 years Rank: Leader Appearance, Body type: ![]()  Skills and Personality: She's caring and protective of her Herd, but maybe a bit too strict. She makes sure no one is lazing around without good reason, this doesn't include the elders or queens as they have a very good reason to be a bit lazy. She stays on top of things very well and always prepares. She may be unintentionally harsh to younger cats, and may regard young cats as 'motivated, but misdirected'. She may have difficulty getting said younger cats to comprehend her commands and suggestions, or rather, she believes all young cats to be obtuse and foolish to some extent (and therefore does not trust younger cats to deputy positions).
History and Relations (Optional): Luna was born into her Herd, and raised like a Herd cat.
Other: She has a genetic mutation, making her have a rare pale blue coat. [/div] |

Username: redlightwolf (@redlightwolf) Cat's name: Maxim Gender: Male Age: Three (3) Years Rank: You can decide ouo I would prefer either Full-Grown or Successor. Appearance, Body type: Maxim has oddly dark fur for a Canadian Lynx, and his eyes are a gray-green. He has black tribal markings running through the fur brushing his eyes. His nose is a dark pink. Other than that, he appears as a normal Canadian Lynx. For breed standards, he is fairly large. Winter:  Summer:  Skills and Personality: Maxim is a talented hunter and is often creating new tactics for tracking, tricking, and catching game. He is quite a loner and has a short temper, but overall he is loyal to Luna and his herd and would fight to the death for another of his kind. History and Relations (Optional): Not much to his past. He never had anything or anyone, he was all alone, until he decided to join the herd. Other: . . . Can't think of anything ouo I might edit this later as his character develops more. Does this require a roleplay example? I believe you already know how I roleplay ^^ recorded in census |

Cat's Name: Raina
Gender: Female
Age: 2 1/2 Years
Rank: Full-Grown
Appearance, Body Type: (I'll just describe her.) Raina's fur is often more silver-brown than red all throughout the year, with it only changing to a more red tone for a smaller portion of summer than normal. Her deep black markings are more easily seen on her otherwise average pelt. Her fur, of usual length, has a bit of a feathery quality to it. She is a bit large for her age, and has a sturdy, strong build; not the best for sprinting small distances, but perfectly capable of taking long treks across the snow. Her eyes are almost completely gray, with a tiny tint of green. Her paws are of the usual massive size that most lynxes show.
Skills and Personality: As stated above, Raina is quite capable of travelling and enduring through harsh weather. Although, it must be said, her coat isn't the best of insulators. Raina can be rude at times, and her loyalty may waver, but her level head remains true. She will only give her true opinion, and doesn't take bribes easily. You might call her slow physically, and you may be correct, but Raina's mind can be as sharp as nails when needed. Although, keep in mind that she can be quite ambitious, and only does what helps her in the long run.
History and Relations: Nothing much has happened to Raina in the wild, of which she can be grateful for. She has long abandoned her younger brother when they went their separate ways.

Username: rainfall Cat's name: Katarinah Gender: Female Age: 1 year Rank: Young adult Appearance, Body type:  Katarinah is a skinny lynx, since she wasn't taken care of by a good mother. Though, she is very speedy and able to catch a good amount of prey for herself or others. She has muscle, most likely not as much as other lynxes but just enough to do the job. Katarinah has a scar from her shoulder, halfway to her belly. Skills and Personality:Very good runner/hunter because of her skinny and lean body. Katarinah is quiet and shy, but when it comes to territory or family, she will defend those things with her very life. History and Relations (Optional): Nah Other: Nope recorded in census |

Cat's name: Flaum
Gender: Female
Age: 2 years
Rank: Full-grown
Appearance, Body type: Flaum has a sharp red tinge to her fur during Summer, but during Winter it fades out to a dark gray-brown, and her spots become less noticeable. She has black face markings, but they don't stand out too much. Flaum isn't of large or even average size for a lynx; shes pretty small, even. However, her fur makes up for this, being much thicker than that of a regular lynx, but the downside of this is that she can easily overheat during Summer. Her eyes are a dark shade of hazel, with brown flecks.
Skills and Personality: One of Flaum's main skills is her ability to hunt, but she specializes in catching small game. She's surprisingly good at tunnel digging, mostly due to the excellent insulation her fur provides. She hates getting wet, but after tunneling she gets a lot of dirt and snow in her fur, so frequent baths become necessary. Her sarcastic side only presents itself during the Summer, when her fluffy coat shows just how much of a double-edged sword it really is. During the few times when temperatures get too high, Flaum gets very irritable and is usually burying herself in a snow bank. Despite how much she hates water, she hates being too hot even more. Flaum's biggest fear is of things larger than herself, resulting in a very firm disposition against going after big prey alone, and a shy and timid demeanor around cats larger than her that she doesn't know too well. Even though this means that she doesn't relax much around most lynx', she'll stick up for her herd if they're in danger.
