Description:

Age related varation in 16 skull dimensions of male and female lynx Lynx lynx (Linnaeus, 1758) recorded, based on a collection of 281 specimens (156 males and 125 females) caught in different parts of Norway during the ten year period 1960 to 1969. Three main growth patterns were recognized: most skull dimensions were found to increase with age, while the lengths of the carnassials were unrelated to age and the breadth of the postorbital constriction decreased with age.
