Although they look like bobcats, they have unique characteristics, including big paws and lengthy ear tufts.

These large cats have thick hair and triangular ears that are marked by black tufts. These Lynx inhabit extremely cool and icy habitats that are challenging for most animals to navigate.

Not this Lynx, though. These cats’ large, extra-furry paws work as their own personal snowshoes, enabling them to successfully navigate the snow and pursue their prey.

These cats’ backs slope downward toward their fronts because their hindlimbs are longer than their forelimbs.

The height and weight range for the Canadian Lynx is 5– 17 kg. Couple of people are aware of the Canadian Lynx’s prowess as a climber and swimmer.

In spite of not being as big as lions, these cats are still very ferocious.

Despite being a ferocious big cat, when the Canadian lynx screams, it sounds strangely similar to a human.

Since snowshoe hares make up 90% of the diet of these Canadian lynx, their numbers will increase along with their prey’s.

These big cats are often actively hunting at night, which is when snowshoe hares are most active.

It should come as not a surprise that this big cat enjoys the cold as its name contains the word “Canada.”.

The normal habitat of this lynx is a taiga or boreal woodland. These type of forests are quite cool and will certainly often have freezing temperatures for over half the year.

Like their Bobcat relatives, Canadian Lynx appreciate their solitude. This discusses the intriguing nickname given to this lynx, “the grey ghost of the North.”.

Because of poachers’ hunting for its fur, the Canadian Lynx got on the list of endangered species for some time.

Thankfully, the Canadian Lynx’s populace has grown in time and therefore is no longer listed as an endangered species.
