What characteristics differentiate Desert Lynx, Highland Lynx, and Alpine Lynx?
Desert Lynx, Highland Lynx, and Alpine Lynx are essentially the same cats with different ears and colors. The Rare & Exotic Feline Registry considers the three breeds to be of the same breed group. This means that a Highland Lynx may be bred to a Desert Lynx, or an Alpine Lynx, for example. The kittens with straight ears may be registered with Desert Lynx while the kittens with curled ears may be registered as Highland Lynx. The breeds are identical except for the ears. Any white kittens produced, regardless of having straight or curled ears, are registered as Alpine Lynx.
