| Popis: | European lynxes Lynx lynx lynx were tentatively age determined using the ossification of cranial sutures and development of cranial characteristics. Cranial development seems to be more related to body size than to age, and a wide range in body size in each age-class makes it doubtful to use characters of development and cranial ossification for age determination. Age determination based on incremental lines in tooth cementum is recommended as a more reliable method. |
