As early February blankets the Fichtel Mountains with snow and ice, life in the forest seems to retreat. The solitary lynx, a master of survival, patrols its territory, equipped with wide, furry paws that serve as natural snowshoes. This cold month reveals the lynx's strategies against the frigid landscape, while the presence of others is indicated by the encounter between a pair of lynxes; a mating ritual ensues, demonstrating the instincts driving animal life in this unforgiving season.
