Rare Canadian Lynx ... Not many left in the wild

 

The Canadian lynx is a wild and elusive cat that lives in the northern forests from the Northeast to the Rocky Mountains. Its thick fur and large paws helps it hunt showshoe rabbits in the far northern wilderness. The large thickly furred feet stop the lynx from sinking in the snow.  It is  a rare and very beautiful animal. It is now endangered.

It has been noted by scientists that in an effort to survive as a species, the lynx has been cross-breeding with bobcats in some areas of the country.
