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.

Having big eyes and advanced hearing, the Canada lynx excels at night hunting. However, since they can’t run very fast, these creatures have to make up for it with sneaky tactics when it comes to catching prey. A common one is finding a hiding spot and waiting for prey to come near them. Then they pounce. Sometimes they sit still for hours just to catch a bite.
