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.

"She [the lynx she caught on camera] was a permanent resident of a Wildlife Rehab Centre in Ontario," the photographer said. "Photographing her was pretty much like photographing a really large and angry housecat." "In the wild, lynx are quite shy and secretive, so you would be very lucky to see one," wildlife photographer Tracy Munson said.
