Here a Eurasian native lynx from Langedrage in Norway is captured with his summer coat: a relatively short, reddish or brown coat, which tends to be more brightly colored in animals living at the southern end of its range. In winter, however, this is replaced by a much thicker coat of silky fur that varies from silver-grey to grayish brown. The underparts of the animal, including the neck and chin, are white at all times of the year. The fur is almost always marked with black spots, although the number and pattern of these are highly variable. Some animals also possess dark brown stripes on the forehead and back. Although spots tend to be more numerous in animals from southern populations, Eurasian lynxes with heavily spotted fur may exist close to others with plain fur.
