Lynxes tire real fast

[Saiko Kila]

Anyone observed that lynx in the current game (3.52 at the moment) tire really quickly, at least to comparison to ~3.40? It seems as if they had this "tire a lynx" spell applied. Sometimes they are breathless after running from my character for one screen, which isn't much. Now, I know real lynxes tire pretty easily, have not much endurance at all, but I'm not sure if it was modelled in the game, given that birds carrying a couple of javelins can outspeed a running character...

My character doesn't have this spell, so I'm curious if someone noticed this, and if the spell makes them breathless even faster, if it's possible at all.
