## Caption

How gorgeous is this wild cat? One hallmark of a lynx's appearance are those long tufts of fur on the ears. Experts have different theories as to their purpose - some believe they act like whiskers and help the lynx detect surroundings, while others believe the hair tufts enhance the animal's hearing!
