	Hinterland Who's Who - Canada Lynx
		The Canada lynx Lynx canadensis is a beautiful wild felid, or cat, of the boreal forest, or northernmost forest in the Northern Hemisphere.
		In Canada, trapping seems to be the only important cause of death besides the decline of populations of the lynx’s main prey, the snowshoe hare.
		Lynx populations began to decline after 1900, and the decline continued to the mid-1950s.

		The reproductive biology for the lynx is similar to the bobcat's.
		Although lynx tracks are similar to those of bobcat, their feet are significantly larger and there is more hair around and between the toes.
		Lynx are found mainly in the extreme northern part of Minnesota adjacent to Ontario, and inhabit the mature forests where snowshoe hares are abundant.

	Lynx - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most are members of the genus Lynx, but there is considerable confusion about the best way to classify felids at present, and some authorities classify all lynxes as part of the genus Felis.
		The Caracal or Desert Lynx is no very close relative of the genus Lynx, nor is the Jungle Cat, despite the fact that both species have the typical tuft of hair on their ears.
		As of 2003, the Canada Lynx is being reintroduced to Colorado.

		Canada lynx live mainly in boreal forests or in mixed deciduous/boreal woodlands, but can live in farmlands if they are interspersed with wooded areas.

	Canada lynx
		Lynx populations that increase during periods of hare increase must either starve or emigrate when the hares disappear.
		Although the lynx seldom uses an underground den, young may be born under brush piles or uprooted trees, or in hollow logs, which provide shelter from rain and cold.
		Lynx populations began to decline after 1900, and the decline continued to the mid-1950s.

		Lynx show remarkable similarity of appearance compared to other related groups of cats and the Canada lynx is often treated as conspecific with the Eurasian lynx.
		Habitat: Lynx are inexorably linked to the snowshoe hare as its primary food source and as such, are commonly found at higher densities in riparian areas and areas of new-growth coniferous forest such as after forest fires.

		Lynx (Felis lynx canadensis) were reported in the park in the early years of this century.
		Lynx are generally grayish-brown with white, buff, or brown on the facial ruff and throat.
		Although lynx are more solidly gray and bobcats are often buffy and have many fl spots, larger bobcats usually have fewer spots and some turn almost solidly gray in winter, so general coloration is also a difficult characteristic for distant identification.

	Canada Lynx, (Lynx canadensis): WILD CATS:
		While the Canada lynx is probably a descendant of a Eurasian lynx ancestor which migrated into North America during one of the last two major glacial periods (Werdelin 1981, 1983b), the Breitenmosers (in prep.) argue convincingly that the two should be considered separate species, as they now show marked adaptive differences for prey capture.
		Whereas the larger Eurasian lynx preys mainly on ungulates, the Canada lynx relies almost exclusively on snowshoe hares, and is uniquely adapted, both behaviorally and physiologically, to exploit a cyclic prey base.
		Lynx are distributed throughout the broad boreal forest belt of North America (Banfield 1974) and south into the American Rocky Mountains (Koehler 1990b), with a total range of some 7.7 million km2 (Parker and Quinn 1987: Figure 8).

	Canadian Lynx
		The name Lynx comes from the Greek word "to shine," and may be in reference to the reflective ability of the cat’s eyes.
		The tail of the Lynx looks as though it was dipped in an inkwell being fl all the way around, whereas the Bobcat’s tail appears to have been painted fl on top and white on the bottom.
		While Lynx will change their prey base when hares are low to include small rodents, ground birds, and small ungulates, the overall Lynx population is still synchronous with the hare population.

		In the fall and winter lynx will kill and eat deer and other large ungulates that are weakened by the rutting season and will also utilize carcasses left by human hunters.
		Lynx usually live in mature forests with dense undergrowth but can also be found in more open forests, rocky areas or tundra.

		Also a change from an earlier proposal is that while the agencies' preferred option would discourage any net increase in "over-the-snow trails" in lynx habitat, primarily new groomed trails used by snowmobiles and compacted on a regular basis, Haber said, it would not prohibit new ones.
		The Canada lynx, a seldom-seen forest cat a little bigger than a bobcat, was listed as a threatened species in 2000 mainly because of a lack of guidance for conservation of lynx and their primary prey base - the snowshoe hare -; in existing Forest Service and BLM land-use plans.
