* The Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx): https://repository.si.edu/bitstream/hand...=y#page=42

This is the largest species, ranging in length from 80–130 cm (31.496–51.181 inches) and standing 60–75 cm (23.622–29.528 inches) at the shoulder. On average, males weigh 21 kg (46.297 lbs) and females weigh 18 kg (39.683 lbs). Males in Siberia (subspecies Lynx lynx wrangeli), where the species reaches the largest body size, can weigh up to 38 kg (83.776 lbs), or reportedly even 45 kg (99.208 lbs). The race from the Carpathian Mountains (Lynx lynx carpathicus) can also grow quite large and rival those from Siberia in body mass, in some cases: https://web.archive.org/web/200705272300...ulynx1.htm, https://web.archive.org/web/200705272300...ulynx1.htm, https://archive.org/stream/mammalsofsov2.../mode/2up/, http://catsg.org/balkanlynx/07_library/7...n_lynx.pdf
