Canadian lynx
Snowshoe hare hunter
A medium-sized wild cat native to North American boreal forests, distinguished by its thick gray-brown fur, tufted ears, and large padded paws adapted for walking on snow.
The Canadian lynx feeds primarily on snowshoe hares, and its population cycles follow the abundance of its prey.
We spotted a Canadian lynx crossing the frozen lake at dawn.
