    The cat, dubbed “Mad Max” eventually decides not only to trust the human to some extent but to use the latter’s presence to assist in his snowshoe-rabbit hunting pursuits.

    That lynx is pawsome! Such a stunning coat! Guess he needs to keep warm in Winter, which I can’t even remember right now LOL. In the footage where he’s cleaning himself and gambolling in the snow he just looks like a big kitteh! 😆

    Fascinating video and worth watching–thanks Lagatta! I love lynx, they are beautiful and hopefully making a comeback especially here where I live. The ones we have here are smaller and very elusive.

    Yes, I think the Canada lynx (which also lives in parts of the northern US) is the largest. The Iberian lynx is one of the smallest, adapted to a very different climate. Unfortunately, it is also endangered, though conservation efforts have allowed the population to increase:
