Are you sure they are bigger than the scandinavian ones? Biggest in apperance I’ve seen on pictures are lynxes at the border between Sweeden and Norway.

Hello!
I am pretty sure about it. The wilderness of Carpathians and the abundance of large prey favoure this. This is, for example, a male carpathian lynx

After what people have told me it shouldn’t be the case, plenty of prey in Scandinavia too. I don’t think there is much difference, but was just interested in where you had herd this, or if it was a theroy? 
These are some Scandinavian lynxes. these look bigger than the Carpathians one imo. One of these was a giant 34 kg Lynx

I have to agree in that, that prey availability is not the case when comparing lynxes from Norway, Sweden and Finland to any other region or country. All of these countries have vast forests and a lot of prey animals. Basically lynxes in all Europe are quite same, so difficult to see any real reason, why in some area those would be bigger than in some another area. I am not sure, but I don´t remember any article or study claiming, that Carpathian lynx would be especially big compared to other lynxes in Europe.

But if there is something indicating so, it would be interesting to see of course. Reply
