Lynx plays with ball in garden outside Uppsala

Anita Lindström received an unexpected visit from a lynx that played with a ball in her garden outside Uppsala.

It was during a football match on TV that Lindström suddenly saw something rolling around with a ball.

– I thought: ”But shit, it’s a lynx”, she says.

The lynx continued playing for almost five minutes. Lindström describes the experience as completely amazing and notes that she usually gets visits from roe deer and squirrels, but never a lynx.

She wonders if the animal was affected by the football fever in Sweden during the World Cup.
