Taking down the mayor of Zootopia, Leodore Lionheart, was just the beginning, but who would've thought that someone as menacing yet as influential as Milton Lynxley would make a worse enemy? What makes him even more dangerous than the pride of the jungle?

What Kind of Animals are the Lynxley Family? Cat Breed Explained

There are four types of Lynxes: Bobcat, Eurasian lynx, Canada lynx, and Iberian lynx. The Lynxley family, as hinted in their pointy ears, medium-sized build, and their dense grey coat, is otherwise known as the Canada lynx.
They also play an essential role in the ecosystem as they regulate the populations of prey species such as rabbits, rodents, and deer, supposedly protecting them from being over-consumed, which means they do hold major bearings in the economy.
Adult Lynx are also apex predators who can ambush and target vulnerable prey, exactly the type of family that Officer Judy Hopps and her trusty partner Nick Wilde must learn to steer clear of.
While the Lynxley family's species can still be killed by larger and more powerful predators, their power lies in numbers and the dark secret behind their family history.
How Did the Lynxley Family Infiltrate Zootopia? How Dangerous Are They?

The Lynxley family saw an opportunity, as Ebenezer Lynxley, the one who started it all, stole the credit for the creation of Zootopia from Agnes De'Snake.
As shown in his and his successors' behavior towards reptiles in particular, they are nasty enough to murder their own maid, who happened to be a tortoise, for becoming a witness to stealing Agnes' idea. The Lynxley immediately framed the murder scene against the De'Snake family.
It's not about the question of whether or not they're as physically capable of hurting anyone; it's a question of the influence and power they had consumed to build the legacy controlling Zootopia, being the affluent crime family that they raised themselves to be.
Considering that they "built" Zootopia under fraud, that fact overpowers mayors, thus putting them in charge of selecting the next overarching "ruler" of their grandest creation. Not a single Lynxley would ever stoop down to help anyone but themselves.
All of which you can check out in Zootopia 2, now available in cinemas near you.
