The Canada Lynx is a medium-sized cat found in northern parts of North America. It has reddish-brown fur, snowshoe-like feet, and eats mostly snowshoe hares, making its population dependent on hare numbers. The lynx lives in boreal forests and was endangered in the 1900s due to fur trapping, though protections have allowed numbers to increase since. Major threats include habitat loss and potential competition with Eurasian lynx.
