“The Balkan lynx communicates mostly with its ears. Despite its rarity, the Balka lynx is North Macedonia’s national symbol and is even found on the reverse side of the country’s five denar coin. Lynkestis, an ancient land that covered what is now part of Greece, Albania and North Macedonia, translates as “land of the lynx.””
