Minnesota Lynx

That's a big kitty, with such luxurious fur you want to wrap your arms around him and squeeze him good. Not a great idea, because Canada lynx are wild animals that are definitely sharp on five ends. They have strong back legs that are longer than their front legs in order to leap onto prey. They have huge paws that work as snowshoes. They avoid people like the plague. And there aren't nearly enough of them. The Voyageurs Wolf Project has plenty of camera traps in the woods of northern Minnesota to study and document wildlife. Their focus is on wolves, but they caught glimpses of Canada lynx quite a bit over the past year.
