CANADIAN LYNX - Amazing Animal Species

This amazing animal is a canadian lynx. Enjoy and experience some interesting details of the species in this animal profile.

Ranging throughout Canada, Alaska and into some parts of the Northern United States, The Canadian Lynx is a shining example of feline adaptability earning its spot at the top as an apex predator. Its most defining characteristic is its furry ruff, looking somewhat like a double-pointed beard. It also has long furry tufts on its ears and a short tail with a black tip. Its broad oversized paws help this animal to easily maneuver through the deep snow. As a specialist predator, the Canadian lynx preys almost exclusively on snowshoe hares, which change from white to a rusty brown depending on the season. Because of their well-balanced relationship, both populations fluctuate together in a 10 year cycle from abundance to scarcity and back again. Canadian Lynx populations face pressures placed on them by human activity. Trapping is one of the main sources of population decline. Each Lynx pelt can fetch upwards of several hundred American dollars and are often used to make fur coats. Because the Canadian lynx is such a rare animal there are no up to date population estimates for any region making it difficult to increase its conservation status. For now they are listed under the category of least concern.

I am from southern ontario. I have seen my cat chase a lynx across my yard until it hid únder my neighbours front porch. I never saw it again but I cant forget it, it was probably the most majestic thing ive ever seen. I was pissed at my cat though :P

Beautiful creatures, they should never be hunted or killed anywhere at any time

I was lucky enough to go on a hunt for one of these cats last year. got a really beauty, and the taxidermist did a great job stuffing him. its now a life size mount in my man cave. every time i look at it i get great memories of an amazing hunt with amazing friends!!

That's awesome. Might depend where along the range you were to determine which is more likely. There are probably hybrids also roaming around too.

Great video. I saw smaller cat tracks once up in the Selkirk Mountains... definitely smaller than the cougar tracks which I would also see. I didn't know if the smaller tracks I saw were bobcat or lynx.

How cruel to trap such an amazing animal just to make silly coats. I can't stand people like those. We can keep ourselves warm without an animal's fur. And using animals to experiments without even a good reason is also silly. I mean come on guys!! They are living creatures. Not things you can just cut!! Can't they understand that!! I'm not even adult, and I know that doing something silly as this is a waste of time!! You can lay a trap if for example,  to move an animal from this place, to another so that it can live a happier and healthy life. But laying a trap to kill them and because of something they have that we want, is just sick!! I love animals and I HATE animal killers!! Especially those who does it for silly things!!!

Reading the comments and seeing how other people see the majestic righteous sheer beauty this animal exerts gives me goose bumps and warms my heart. I see now even deeper why, I hate the fur industry

[zandozman]

seen these before in my yard pretty dang cool

[otgcheedo]

That's like a custom animal the ear tips the tiny tail crazy

[alberteasleyjr.]

they need to be protected not killed. they are a very beautiful species that needs to be left alone.
