Canada Lynx Are Majestic Until You Hear Them Scream

The Canadian subarctic is a harsh environment with short winter days where temperatures drop below negative 60 degrees Celsius. Deep snow covers much of the landscape, making survival here almost impossible. However, there is one Predator that has developed a set of tools that allow it to thrive in these extremes. conditions, although few have seen one. The apex predator of this region rules with a huge, fluffy, padded fist. This is the ghost of winter, the Canadian

lynx

. Hi, I'm Danielle Dufo. You are seeing animal logic. This is a Canada

lynx

seeing a Canada lynx in reality. Life was an immense privilege, but there are many other animals that I love learning about by watching documents on my new favorite Discovery Magellan TV.

Any holiday or last-minute occasion, the Canada lynx is the northernmost dwelling in the world. Bobcats are found primarily in Canada and Alaska. Its range is enormous and is further north than any other big cat, with its cousin, the Eurasian lynx, being the second closest to the Canadian lynx. is limited by tree line that relies on foliage cover to conceal its approach to prey As climate change is warming the world, the northern edge of its range will expand as it warms enough to for trees to grow, making the Canada lynx one of the There are few species that benefit from climate change, at least in this very specific case.

Take a closer look. We traveled to the boreal forests of the Yukon during an early winter cold snap. Temperatures were mild, about -45 degrees Celsius, but frozen noses and toes. It was worth it to see one of the most iconic but elusive cats in the world. Finally we reached the Yukon. This is the furthest north I have ever been. We're here to find one of the most incredible cold climates in North America. Creatures The Canadian lynx's range overlaps with that of the puma in the foothills of the Pacific Northwest, but fortunately they avoid conflict by pursuing different prey.

Cougars can typically weigh up to one hundred kilograms and routinely hunt sheep, goats and deer, which can be even larger than

them

. Canadian Links are much smaller, about the size of an English Cocker Spaniel, with a maximum weight of 15 kilograms. The Canadian lynx is the second largest member of its genus after the Eurasian lynx, but they are much larger than their other two cousins. the endangered Iberian lynx and the wild cat, which is technically a lynx. Oh look at those fluffy tails, this may seem surprising because at first glance they look like large house cats, but they are basically just a thick layer of fur wrapped around four stilts.

Their fur is about 10 centimeters long in the winter, so if you were to prick one, your finger would disappear into their fur and then you would lose it. You shouldn't click science hashtag links. These Frosty cats have extra long hind limbs, but they are not. Designed for long-distance pursuit, what they do is jump out of the snow and pounce on their prey. They live in environments filled with ice and snow for most of the year. It makes persecution impractical, so Canada is linked very similarly to foxes, polar bears and other northern carnivores. They are ambush predators, but before they go out hunting you need a big stretch to relax, oh that's good, they use their incredible sense of smell and

ing to find their praise dance, they wait patiently for

them

to come out and then attack the slinks. lurking just beyond the tree line, he has spotted his next meal, a foreign mallard, he waits patiently for the mallard to come within striking distance his gray fur camouflages the links perfectly against a tree and then he pounces Quickly, he breaks the mallard's neck, pierces its throat, and carries it away.

It enters the forest to devour the foreign forest, its home, and never travels beyond the tree line into the tundra because it relies heavily on its food sources in the forest. Canada links are one of the most specialized predators on Earth. A single species of prey. It can make up up to 97% of their diet in parts of their range for Canada lynx living in those areas where their lives depend on the killing of snowshoe hares. This reliance on snowshoe hairs is particularly important in the northern part of their range, where there is not much of them.

Otherwise, the average lynx traps three hairs per week and when there are too many links, this causes a collapse of the hair population every 8 to 11 years. Snowshoe populations drop below a critical point and local snowshoes cannot obtain enough food to survive. Hair density can drop from over 2,300 hairs per square kilometer to about 12 hairs per square kilometer in less than two years, representing a 99.99 percent decrease in the time it took to reboot Spider-Man. The links are then forced to leave the area, sometimes traveling up to a thousand kilometers in search of food. They will not have offspring for up to two years.

Many links die of hunger during this period, some die from natural causes aggravated by lack of food and others die of hunger. They are forced to seek out more dangerous prey and end up dying from this cause a collapse in Lynx populations which eventually leads to a recovery of the Snowshoe hairs, then the links return, start having babies and the cycle begins again. All of this happened before all of this happens again. These cats only live where Snowshoe hairs are abundant and because they face the same environmental challenges, they have convergently evolved to be very similar.

The old saying you are what you eat seems to apply to Canadian links because they share some adaptations with their main prey, the snowshoe, one of the biggest problems for small animals in these regions is how to move when there are several feet of snow on them. the soil for more than half the year. Getting stuck in a snowbank can easily be fatal. The lynx's legs are really huge, which helps them distribute their weight all over the ground. snow and looks a lot like a snowshoe, one more thing it has in common with the hair of a snowshoe: they measure up to 10 centimeters wide, which is cartoonishly huge for an animal of its size, it would be like a beagle that I would have paused the size of the paperback books it has. short tails and ears to reduce heat loss and have two layers of dense fur to keep them warm in temperatures as cold as -60 degrees Celsius here in the Yukon we were lucky enough to see a new mom.

It's extremely beautiful here, but it's as cold as it is beautiful everything is frozen and covered in snow ah apparently there are giant mountains here I just can't see them yet through all the foreign snow we arrived here in the Yukon pretty late last night, just after midnight, There's only about four hours of sunlight a day here, so we have to work fast, try to find some animals, get some good pictures, we're about to go see some Canada lynx and I'm really excited that these animals are one one of my favorites on the planet. There is mom and her kitten, yes the mating season is spring and babies are born in early summer, so this kitten is about five months old and will stay with her mom until next spring, but she won't reach sexual maturity until year following this age. she can go out with mom to hunt oh, that's a feisty kitten.

He is trying to snatch the meat from his own mother. Snowshoe hairs remain the top priority, but they will not reject carrion or other easy-to-catch prey such as grouse. Canadian Links are most active at night, but have a great sense of smell and

ing can alert them to roadkill or other available prey. In this case, they are the remains of a bird. At night, when they go out hunting, they are more likely to run. In other lynxes in their range that are doing the same these conflicts can become uncomfortable. We understand each other abroad, the Canada lynx has disappeared from the southernmost limits of its range, but is still relatively abundant in most parts. from Canada and Alaska.

It is considered a threatened species in the lower 48 states, but has been successfully reintroduced to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and its populations are growing there. If you live anywhere near snowshoe hares, keep an eye out for one of the most beautiful and mysterious cats in the world. The presence of a Canadian lynx so close to a mom Links and her cub was incredibly comforting and we couldn't get enough, so we left the Yukon and drove 400 kilometers to Alaska to meet Steve Crashel, who turns out to be friends with a large male lynx , so for the second time this week I'm hanging out with the Canadian lynx.

Our first stop here at Cross Little Nature Center is to see a bobcat. They have a male lynx here and his name is Lennox. This is the. land of misfit animals walk with me Danielle oh my god I'm going into the bonding compound wish me luck I'll protect you now I've never let anyone in here before oh really okay who's first and you're surprised thank you Thank you for being at the door now, It's a wild and dangerous animal, that's its territory, so go ahead and shoot, oh I am, you should be safe and it's a great honor to share space with the links, which is a dream, yeah, them. re son uh, I've worked with links my whole life, yeah, ethology, you see what I'm going to do here because he's curious, walk on this right side, so I'll protect you.

I'm getting enough space and What we're going to do is just talk to him here now. I have several calls and I would like you to make these calls. Oh, I'd love to. The call is next. Foreign. That is. I spend all day talking. my cat in his language so this isn't that different good job Danielle thank you you're building a relationship come here only he's really marking this corpse now yeah now what you want to do is just purr because They have pervacity, no. so, oh, that's a very different benefit, yes, the foreign comes true, essentially it didn't become aggressive, so friendly, look, you emit a frequency that the animal can understand, that's what several people emit various frequencies and the Animals can read it, they read honesty, sincerity. and all these good things, all these virtues and the animal can say that I believe in that.

All the animals I have ever had have been great judges of character from the beginning. That's nature's lie detector. of course, the no petting a bobcat rule doesn't apply if you're Steve, oh oh, that was so sweet, thanks for having us, so what should we talk about next? Let me know in the comments and be sure to subscribe to receive updates. animal logic episodes every week thanks for watching see ya thanks foreigner knows I'm a cat fanatic but it's funny how all cats are the same in their behaviors anyway seeing a cat stretch you just know you see a cat stretch you' I've seen them all stretch, but I see a lot of similar behavior between these bobcats and my cat's nebula at home.

Certain things are simply universal among felines, like boxes. I'm sure if we put a box in this enclosure, they would jump into it without fail.
