In December 1998, a group of three lynx Lynx lynx (Linnaeus, 1758), possibly a female with kittens was observed during two nights at a killed roe deer Capreolus capreolus in the Bukovske Vrchy hills, north-eastern Slovakia. There was an apparent feeding order among the lynx, with the largest eating first and the smallest last. Also, the "play-fight behaviour" was observed.
