Depicts a Balkan Lynx (Lynx lynx balcanicus) in nature, surrounded by the country name "Republic of Makedonia", date below.

The Balkan lynx is a critically endangered subspecies of the Eurasian lynx, found mainly in North Macedonia and Albania. It has a robust body, long legs, large paws, and tufted ears, with a reddish-brown coat and darker spots. Preferring remote forests and rocky areas, it preys on small to medium-sized mammals and birds. Conservation efforts are crucial to its survival due to habitat loss and poaching.
