Siberian Lynx Persuasive Speech
Dear 6th Grade Students and Teachers,
Do you know an animal that is so rare that there are only 19 of them in zoos across the United States? Did you also know that it can see up to 250 feet in front of them in the dark? This animal’s binomial name is Lynx Lynx. Well this phenomenal kitty is nothing like your average “Putty Tat.” This creature is a Siberian Lynx, and this is the animal that Converse Middle School should adopt. The Siberian Lynx is a beautiful and very well adapted animal. Despite its weight being up to 75 pounds, they are about 25 to 30 inches tall at their shoulder with their body length being 50 to 75 inches long.

So if we did adopt the Siberian Lynx, they would be there for many years to come. Their breeding season is spring and they can only breed once a year. There homes in Siberia, Russia, Asia, and parts of Europe, can be quite chilly too, so they would need to have a cold enclosure so they could have little kittens and keep the population afloat. They also hunt at night because of their keen hearing. Due to the need to eat, the Lynx can run 12 miles in heavy ground cover during one night, just to hunt. In France, they were exterminated in 1900, and due to some population fears, they were later reintroduced. In 1850 they were exterminated in Germany and the same in Switzerland in 1915. Few have ever been spotted in Italy, but luckily, the number is rising. They inhabit taiga, alpine tundra, and some rocky barren areas above the mountain tree lines. If this amazing animal was to be exterminated anywhere else, it would effect the population greatly. Therefore, we should adopt the
