	Canadian Lynx
		In the ‘New World’, the Canadian lynx is found in both Canada and Alaska, as well as in some of the northern states of the USA, where changes in habitat and over hunting have reduced its extent.
		The lynx is distinctive in appearance - with its triangular shaped, tufted ears, thick set body, long hind legs, a short, stumpy tail and large fur covered paws which help carry the cat over deep snow, which is common in much of its range.
		The coat is spotted, but in the Canadian species, the markings are less distinct than in European and Asian varieties, being almost masked by the thick tawny to grey coloured fur, which is often seen to have a ‘frosted’ appearance due the white tips to its fur.

		Summary The Canadian lynx (Lynx canadensis) may creep for miles through dense, debris-strewn forest for the chance to pounce on a scarce snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus), but the stealthy feline is apparently seldom bothered to weather a crossing of the Rocky Mountains to find a mate.

		In the 'New World', the Canadian lynx is found in both Canada and Alaska, as well as in some of the northern states of the USA, where changes in habitat and over hunting have reduced its extent.
		Monitoring of the lynx by conservation authorities in these areas continues to gain more information on the cats hunting behaviour and the debate, which is common in areas were the interests of wild cat populations is at odds with local inhabitants, seems set to continue.
		To some the Spanish lynx is not a valid species but a sub species of the Eurasian lynx, however they are generally smaller than their northern counterparts and their yellow/brown coat is lighter in colour and the spotted markings more noticeable.

	Canadian Lynx
		The prey of the Canadian Lynx consists almost entirely of Snowshoe Hares and its population fluctuates with a ten-year cycle, as does that of the hare, but with about a two-year lag.
		The Canadian lynx appears to prefer lying in ambush rather than actively hunting its prey although both methods are used, the more active probably being used mainly when prey is scarce.
		Canadian Lynx is also a scavenger, often feeding from the carcases of moose, caribou and other ungulates which have succumbed to other predators or to natural causes.

		The Canadian Lynx, a close cousin to the bobcat, is a forest-dwelling cat that historically inhabited coniferous forests of the northeastern United States, the Great Lakes, the Rocky Mountains, and the Cascade Mountains.
		Similar to a bobcat, they have a "bobbed" or shorter tail but are different from a bobcat because of the prominent tufts on their ears and secondly, their larger paws, which are twice as large as those found on a bobcat, and are covered with fur to keep it from sinking into deep snow.
		Lynx are cautious and secretive and tend to avoid large open areas and prefer dense unbroken forest.
