Mama Kitty

Tim said that the most interesting one to watch among all of them was the mother. It is rare to get a chance to observe a mother Lynx tending to her cubs. The mother was running behind her cubs ensuring that they didn’t get trapped or hurt each other while playing around.

To The Beyond

After being on the porch for about 45 minutes where Tim hid behind the screen clicking photos, the mama Lynx decided to round up her young cubs and move back to their natural habitat, in the wilderness. Tim said, “It makes me feel thankful — thankful for where I live. I’m thankful to have seen these lynxes up close.”

The Social Media

Once the Lynxes had left, Tim couldn’t stop himself from getting on his computer and sharing his experience with his friends and family on Facebook. The mysterious creatures that the Lynxes are, made sure that the pictures he uploaded made the rounds and go viral almost instantaneously.

Awareness

The pictures Tim uploaded also ensured that a certain awareness was raised about the quickly disappearing population of the Canadian Lynx. The exotic creature is facing extinction because of its rarity and is being trapped and transported to the highest bidder.

The Endgame

This incident and the popularity of the images proved that the danger Lynxes are facing is huge as they are becoming an increasingly rare sight. Animal experts are alarmed by the rate at which the breed of Lynx is disappearing. The more people realize the threat the more they can work towards averting it.
