This Is One Of The Closest Footages Of A Friendly Lynx Caught On Camera

Lynx are unique in that they are omnivores, meaning that they consume both vegetation and meat. Of course, their favorite treat is the snowshoe hare, and there is even an observable correlation between the rise and fall of the hare population and that of the lynx.Show more

There is also a very good reason that the lynx tends to avoid human beings, and that is because these beautiful creatures are often hunted for their stunning fur. In fact, over-hunting has made some of these species one of the most endangered big cats on Earth.

Nevertheless, this footage shows an extremely close encounter with a very curious lynx. Distanced only 10 feet from the couple who filmed her in British Columbia, they are actually becoming to get little worried how close she is. But this incredibly friendly lynx has nothing to do with the couple, as the footage shows she only wants something to eat. Getting ready to come out of the woods, she carefully looks around to make sure nobody is after her and once she is in the open she starts moving slowly yet sluggishly with her extra-long and furry legs as if she is ready to pounce right in the eyes of the danger. She starts sniffing the surface of the ice which has covered the earth so thickly in order to find something that would satisfy her hunger. This beautiful creature waltzes nearby the camera and the footage is probably one of the rarest to show a lynx within human’s reach. It is a pity she doesn’t make a noise because the noise she produces is strangely captivating, it is like a half-growl, half-roar. Maybe next time.
