The Canadian lynx is a medium-size North American wild cat. It lives across Alaska, Canada, and northern parts of the United States. This animal has long dense fur and triangular ears with black tufts. It has broad paws that act like snowshoes in deep snow.
Like the related bobcat, its back legs are longer than its front legs. This trait makes the back slope downward toward the front. It stands 19 to 22 inches tall at the shoulder. It weighs between 11 and 37 pounds. The feline swims well and climbs trees with great agility.
This predator eats mostly snowshoe hares. This regular diet creates a strict cycle between the hunter and the prey population. The cat populations rise and fall over the years based on how many hares live in Alaska. When hares are rare, felines travel to find more abundant food sources. They also stop raising litters during these lean times.
They hunt around twilight or at night when its prey is active. It waits on forest trails and pounces fast and kills with a quick bite to the neck.
Hunters trap it regularly for the fur trade in Alaska. However, laws protect the cat in southern zones due to habitat loss.
