🐈Eurasian lynx
Lo, lodjur eller lokatt (vetenskapligt namn: Lynx lynx), i västra Sverige även göpe eller göpa med flera (jämför norska: gaupe), är ett kattdjur som förekommer i Europa och Asien. Lodjuret är Europas största kattdjur och fanns en gång i skogar över stora delar av den europeiska kontinenten och vidare österut till Sibirien. På Iberiska halvön förekommer istället den närbesläktade panterlon. Trots att lodjurets utbredningsområde historiskt minskat är arten fortfarande ett vitt spritt kattdjur och sammantaget betraktas arten av Internationella naturvårdsunionen inte som hotad.
