Canadian Lynx, Yukon Territory

Photograph by Nicolas Dory, Your Shot

A Canadian lynx is seen in the Ogilvie Mountains (Yukon Territory, Canada ) last winter. I followed fresh wolf tracks, north of Tombstone, before I found this lynx enjoying the sunset. I spent three hours with the feline, watching him resting, stretching, and hunting snowshoe hares in the snow.
