With its elusive behaviour and nocturnal habits, thesolitary Canadian lynx (Lynx canadensis) has earned its reputation as a keeper of secrets. Its sudden appearance naturally commands attention, as much for the rarity of this occurrenceas for the glimpse it offers of the wildcat's beautiful, distinctive features. Behind this feline's calm demeanour are the keen senses and sharp instincts of a skilled hunter, one that is perfectly adapted to the changing seasons that shape and define the Canadian wilderness.

The Canadian lynx is largely found in the boreal forests that stretch across much of the country, where it can easily hide among dense vegetation and fallentrees, or move along rocky ledges. While it is unable to sustain more than a short burst of speed, the lynx uses a stalk-and-ambush method to prey on itsprimary food source, the snowshoe hare, and catch it unawares in one fell swoop.
