How often does a lynx go in heat?

A lynx typically goes into heat once a year, during the breeding season, which usually occurs between late winter and early spring. The estrus cycle lasts about 2 to 7 days, and female lynxes may attract males with vocalizations and scent markings. After mating, the female will give birth to a litter of 1 to 4 kittens a few months later.
