Canadian Lynxes are medium-sized wild cats with distinctive features including a flared facial ruff, black ear tufts, and a short, black-tipped tail. They have long hind legs, which contribute to a slightly stooped posture, and large, wide paws that act like snowshoes, helping them navigate snowy terrain. Habitat and Range: Canada lynx are primarily found in the boreal and sub-boreal forests of North America, particularly in areas with abundant snowshoe hares, their main prey.

Species: There are four living species of lynx: the Canada lynx, Iberian lynx, Eurasian lynx, and bobcat
