They also scavenge and will eat carrion. Lynx are good runners and climbers. However, they usually hunt on the ground. Lynx rest or bed under ledges, tree or in caves. In bad weather they may bed under thick spruce trees.
Lynx stalk their prey alone.
Occasionally, they will hunt cooperatively with other lynx. They may also ambush their prey, as a mountain lion does. A lynx indicates its mood using the long, black ear tufts. Most cats display their moods, by moving their tails. Two other members of the cat family live in Colorado, mountain lions and bobcats.
