About the Canadian Lynx

The Canadian Lynx (Lynx canadensis) is a medium-sized wild cat known for its distinctive tufted ears, long legs, and large paws, which help it navigate snowy terrains. This solitary and elusive animal primarily preys on snowshoe hares, making its habitat closely linked to the availability of this prey.

Habitat

• Geographical Range: The Canadian Lynx is primarily found in Canada and parts of Alaska, with a range extending into the northern United States. We have been tracking the Canadian Lynx and have unique and private remote areas for the ultimate and intimate photo experience. You and one other photographer to enjoy this magical experience. Our sites are set up in a variety of areas so you can have the opportunity photographing males and female Canadian Lynx.

• Preferred Environment: They inhabit boreal forests, characterized by dense coniferous trees and abundant snow cover during the winter months.

• Winter Adaptations: Their large feet act as snowshoes, allowing them to walk on top of the snow while hunting.

Breeding Information

• Mating Season: The breeding season typically occurs in late winter, around February to March.

• Gestation Period: After mating, the female lynx has a gestation period of about 63 days.

• Kittens: A litter usually consists of 2 to 4 kittens, which are born in dens made of snow or under fallen trees.

• Independence: The young lynx begin to venture out with their mother at around 2 months old and become independent by 6 to 10 months.
