Lynx

According to Russian zoologist Mikhail Krechmar, there is not a single confirmed case of a lynx attack on a person. “To some extent, this is even amazing. A leopard weighing thirty-five kilograms easily kills people. An adult male lynx can easily deal with trained shepherd dogs twice as hard as himself. However, cases when the lynx deliberately concealed and killed a person are still unknown to us. Pseudo-bailiff fabulists have devoted more than a dozen pages to cases of lynx attacks on a geological party, a hunter-fisherman, a solo prospector, a Komsomol drummer, etc. Arguing impartially, it is difficult to reproach them: according to all physical characteristics, the lynx seems to be able to attack a person. Maybe, but it doesn't attack. Moreover, the lynx is known as one of the most easily tamed animals. In particular, even adult lynxes caught in traps can be tamed. Sometimes they get used to humans to such an extent that they allow themselves to be picked up, and the purr of this huge cat is like the hum of a powerful electric motor. "
