Lynx
Meko is our resident Canadian Lynx!

• The Canadian Lynx is found throughout Canada and in the northernmost regions of the United States.• They have long legs, a short body and huge "snowshoe" feet to help them walk in the snow.
• Their most recognizable feature is the pointed tufts of hair at the tops of their ears.
• They have a reputation as a shy, retiring creature that avoids humans at all costs.
• The Canada lynx exists almost entirely on the snowshoe hare, so their populations fluctuate markedly with that of their prey species.
• They are the only large predator evolved to move through the snow, so they have very little competition. That's a good thing for them because they're very slow for a cat!
