You Are a Lynx

You are a quiet observer of the world around you. Your wisdom comes from listening carefully. You've always been extra sensitive and aware. And it's made it difficult for you to fit in. You see past people's outward personas. You are able to penetrate a stranger's soul. What you've learned about people is both beautiful and ugly. And you keep these secrets to yourself.

The lynx is not technically a "Big Cat". (Wikipedia lists it as a Medium Sized wild cat.) The smallest of the Big Cat family is the cheetah, and it is the only Big Cat that purrs.

I have always loved the lynx though. The black ear tufts are to die for.

...

Fun fact: The Iberian Lynx (in Spain, where the Iberian Ibex is already extinct) is critically endangered.

If it goes extinct, it will be the first feline species to do so since prehistoric times, when the earth lost the sabre-toothed cat and the American Cheetah, probably due to prehistoric idiot humans, who just happened to show up around the time just before a whole bunch of mammal species (e.g. mammoths) went extinct.

This is the only form in which this meme will ever amuse me.




(PS: Thanks, Myrrh, for bringing my attention to this meme. If you hadn't I wouldn't have been able to get this one funny instance of it, heh.)

I'm really bad at these! But here's my little attempt. Warning - I go on forever on each interest.

The Rules: Comment on this post. I'll choose seven interests from your profile and you'll explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along.

Mine came from the darling woolly_socks. ( Her inquiries+my answers )
