The Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) population size fluctuates in response to the snowshoe hare population size. We couldn't see what this one was hunting exactly, but we watched those characteristic ear tufts bounce around through the tall brush. A couple other good identifying characteristics are the short black-tipped tail and the big fluffy paws that help lynx travel over snow.
