Cleo, a Canada Lynx, waking up and deciding to go for a stroll outside in the fresh snow. She was someone's "pet" who lived inside a house for 13 years. This freedom is all new to her.

Canada lynx with splayed beard | Yukon Wildlife Cams

Canada Lynx have razor sharp teeth. Watch as our female Lynx easily shreds through this bison meat. Four of their 28 teeth are long canines. These are primarily used to puncture and hold prey. The carnassial teeth, located behind the canines, are used to shred meat into smaller more manageable bites. You can see our lynx doing this in this video. In the wild, lynx primarily eat snowshoe hare. Here at the preserve our lynx are spoiled with a diet of bison, moose, chicken and quail. #LynxLunch | Y
