*** About Lynx: The lynx is a medium-sized wild cat native to the boreal forests of Canada, including Alberta. Known for its distinctive ear tufts, short tail, and large paws that facilitate movement across snow, the lynx primarily hunts small to medium-sized mammals, with the snowshoe hare being a crucial prey. This elusive cat is a symbol of the Canadian wilderness and plays a significant role in the ecological balance of its habitat. Often depicted in local art and legend, the lynx also figures prominently in various cultural motifs and stories across North America, highlighting its importance in biodiversity and cultural heritage.
