| The diet of the lynx_ Lynx lynx_ in Norway | |
| 1980 Fauna norvegica (1): 24-28 | |
Stomach content analyses show that roe deer _Capreolus capreolus _and reindeer _Rangifer tarandus _constitute the most important food for the lynx _Lynx lynx _in Norway, particularly during winter. Other important prey items are hares and tetraonids. A change in the diet of females occurs around December towards a higher proportion of cervids. It appears that the lynx has a good food supply in mid-winter in areas with rich populations of cervids. |
