The Canadian Lynx is a medium-sized wild cat native to North America, primarily found in the boreal forests of Canada and parts of the northern United States. It has distinctive tufted ears, a short tail, and large, padded paws that help it navigate snowy terrain. The lynx primarily preys on snowshoe hares, which make up a significant portion of its diet. This species is well-adapted to cold environments, with thick fur and long legs that allow it to move easily through deep snow. The Canadian Lynx is a solitary animal, typically active during dawn and dusk, and it plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of its ecosystem.
