The average litter has two to four kittens. The kittens have soft streaked and spotted fur. They are fully weaned at around three months, but will start eating meat when they are as young as one month old. The kittens will stay with their mother for their first year. Once they leave their mother the young lynxes may stay together for a short period of time.
Lynx are territorial and solitary.
The home ranges of females may overlap and often a male's and a female's range will overlap, but male's ranges are separate.
