The Siberian Lynx has the largest hind leg among the felines. When running on snow the unique leg allows weight to be distributed over more area (much like a snow shoe) this trait is especially beneficial when chasing fast food.
I got to see these animals and a few other while at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Dinner of Champions which was held at the Columbus Zoo.
Congratulations to Jack Hanna for being named Columbus Dinner of Champions Honoree.
