Lynx sightings
The Canada lynx is a rare wildcat in Minnesota, and is most likely to occur just after the population of their main prey, snowshoe hare, crashes in Canada.
Lynx kittens, like house cats, cover their urine and feces. Adults do not, using them as territorial markers instead. Lynxes are excellent climbers and occasionally swim across rivers and streams.
Lynx populations are subject to dramatic fluctuations. Their numbers peak every nine to ten years, closely following the population cycle of the Snowshoe Hare.
Lynx are shy and solitary, except for mothers with cubs. They mark their territories by urinating on trees and rocks. Male territories are larger and can overlap several female territories.
Lynx usually live in mature forests with dense undergrowth but can also be found in more open forests, rocky areas or tundra.
