Canada lynx
Lynx canadensis
The Canada lynx is one of only 4 lynx species in the world. This beautiful animal has hind legs that act like snowshoes in heavy snow. Its coat, similar to that of other lynxes in summer, turns grayish-white in winter. Historically heavily hunted for its fur in the 19th century, the Canada lynx is now more protected and has even been reintroduced into certain regions from which it had totally disappeared.
Lumigny Safari Réserve is the only place in the world where you can observe 3 of the 4 lynx species.
