Caching prey in trees by Eurasian lynx:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF03192475

if someone can embed or link the full article that would be good
the 2nd account describes a lynx carrying a 4 year old roe deer male up a tree. Roe deer are apparently 15-35kg, and this account occured in the czech republic, where lynx males average 21.8kg (this lynx was described as big, so i assume its a male).

The deer could very well have been similar weight to the lynx.
But isn't a less than 22kg male Lynx considered rather small?

It would be lighter then average yes. But this lynx was called big by a hunter, who had likely seen many lynx in his time. So theirs a possibility it was 25kg+
