Meet The Big-Pawed Canadian Lynx – One Of The Rarest Felines in The World (Video & Pics)

With a relatively short body, small tail and long legs, the Canada lynx is one of the most adorable fluffs. They may look like a cousin of your housecat, but make no mistake — these boreal predators are pretty wild. The Canada lynx lives in forested areas and like making their dens underneath fallen trees, tree stumps, rock ledges or thick bushes. They are territorial animals, and males usually live alone.

As its name says, the Canadian lynx is native to Canada and Alaska. They also posses a great particularity – some very big paws – unlikely bobcats, for example. Although they live in the far north, where the temperatures are far below zero most part of the year, the Canadian lynx perfectly handles these tough conditions, and all because of their coat.
