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.
Humpback whalesdt
Humpback whales catch their food using a feeding method called bubble-net feeding, where they swim in a shrinking circle while blowing bubbles to herd schools of krill, anchovies, cod, sardines, mackerel, and capelin. Humpback whales face threats from human activities like pollution, illegal whaling, noise, fishing gear, ship collisions, and habitat degradation. Their habitat ranges along the coasts of the continental United States.
Devyn whippoorwill
The Eastern Whippoorwill is a small, nearly invisible bird that is well camouflaged by its feather coloration, allowing it to avoid predators. It lays its eggs directly on leaves or wood without constructing a nest and feeds on moths, beetles, and other insects. The Eastern Whippoorwill has become endangered due to habitat loss, degradation of woodlands, and predation by feral cats and dogs, and conservation efforts are needed to help preserve its habitat and stop further population declines.
