Look at those paws! Acting like snowshoes, the wide feet of the Canada lynx keep it nimble in the snow. These regal cats have long tufts of black fur on the tips of their ears, a ruff of long hairs that frame their faces, and short, black-tipped tails (distinguishing it from its smaller relative, the bobcat). Their fur varies from yellowish to rusty to reddish-brown, muted with silver and tipped with white – an ideal coloring for an animal active in the shadow hours of dawn and dusk. Though found in Alaska, most of Canada and some states along the northern border and in the Rockies, lynx can be hard to spot. Excellent hunters – hare are their primary prey – they’ll probably see you before you see them. Photo by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
