"A lynx (/\u02C8l\u026A\u014Bks/; plural lynx or lynxes) is any of the four species within the Lynx genus of medium-sized wild cats. The name \"lynx\" originated in Middle English via Latin from the Greek word \"\u03BB\u03CD\u03B3\u03BE\", derived from the Indo-European root \"leuk-\", meaning \"light, brightness\", in reference to the luminescence of its reflective eyes.Neither the caracal, sometimes called the desert lynx, nor the jungle cat, called the jungle lynx, is a member of the Lynx genus."@en . . .
