Canadian lynx
Thank you ALL... Great video. Maybe warming(preparing) us up, for a cold Winter? Thank you for sharing. Continue to be you friends.
C'mon, you KNOW you wanna do a video on Peafowl!!!!
I hope you spent time with Steve and the friendliest wolverines on the planet. Was Steve wearing shoes or barefoot again?
I love them, literally the definition of "If dangerous why is it friend shaped?"
if deadly, why floofy?
Friend shaped, not Friendly 🤣
@@ccatldy5021 Like a saguaro cactus!
@@i-love-comountains3850 Yeah, I saw a picture of the cactus. They look a bit like a children's TV-puppet character 😆
Nature's cruelest joke is to make everything that looks so huggable also so full of knives
Something so deadly has no business being so fluffy & cute.
It always seems like the fluffier and cuter something is, the deadlier it is.
I just want to cuddle with it 😅
That's cats in general haha
If it's dangerous, why is it friend shaped?
While sounding so terrifying.
The Canadian lynx is the definition of "murder mittens". What impressive lil' fluffs!
Yes
With giant toe beans🤣
i cried so much those toe beans were insanely cute i can’t
My mom met one, she said it was like meeting a lion. You're just not prepared for how scary they can be when you meet one in proximity/confined area. Your brain is so hard wired to think of cats as harmless, when you get confronted with one that isn't, it is just freaky.
“I am socially awkward and so I must scream” is definitely a mood common to some cats
I'm fostering a blind, single Siamese foster kitten right now, and this is basically her behavior around the house cats and dogs.
Your wording reminds me of the short story "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison
Canada lynxes alongside red foxes, northwestern wolves, cougars, bobcats, coyotes, caribou, white-tailed deer, volves, lemmings, weasels, pine martens, beavers, trout, North American river otters, rabbits and some squirrels and chipmunks are my favorite animals from North America who in the winter don’t migrate south like American robins, blue jays, Canadian geese, mallards, lesser long-nosed bats, Mexican long-tongued bats and Mexican free-tailed bats, swallows, monarch butterflies, painted lady butterflies and tiger swallowtail butterflies or hibernate or go into suspended animation like black bears, grizzly bears, groundhogs, chipmunks, squirrels, frogs, toads, bees, ants and woolly bears but rather stay awake all winter and get to experience the joy of it in the process.
@@IndriidaeNT what
Hell, I'm a human and I wish I were allowed to scream like a lynx when I'm in a social situation I want out of XD
I know it would maul me but I want to hug this insanely fluffy kitty so bad...
Lowkey...same
WORTH IT
I will what for when Jesus comes back to hug that fluffy kitty
I want one... or 4🔥🧡💯
Just remember this acronym: Claws And Teeth.
Their paws are so ridiculously huge, I love it
I have to agree with other comments, they are "murder mittens"
Anime hands
Small compared to the Eurasian lynx, 20kg smaller to be exactly
Sasquach Cats
SKIP to 12:18 if u want to hear them scream like a woman in distress! 😂 beautiful animals!❤
Thank you! I was searching for this comment
Not all heroes wear capes!
Thank you
Reminds me of some of the Biters from Dying Light 😂
Thank you!
I love it when Steve shows up on the show! He really is such a great example of how to communicate with wild animals.
Steve was an instant fave! I forgot i was subscribed to this channel and this was a great reminder!
Honestly, I just love the sound of lynxes territorially yelling at one another. They sound exactly like young adult women getting into a weird screaming match.
Muffled Laughter.
I was absolutely thinking middle school girls. And then the slap. Followed by the stare. We really are all related.
Drunk women....lol
@@alan4sure 😅Could almost hear the conversation!
@@alan4sure That, too.
They're so cute! My cat jumped up on my desk while I was watching cougars hunting guanacos... she was very interested in watching her cousin hunting! My cat was feral until I tamed her a few years ago. She showed up at my door, skinny and full of worms and fleas. She is super happy these days and often gets the zoomies when she's especially happy like today because it's a sunny morning!
Pumas hunt guanacos ❤
Pumas hunt guanacos ❤
The way you talk about your cat is so nice ha
@Brendan You've been adopted 🐱😊❤️
Is not cousin, just the same animal order. Is like you're saying the Chimpanzees are your cousins.
i have autism, and lynxes are one of my special interests. i love them so much, so any time i see people talk about them and appreciate them like this, it makes me so happy! it makes me a little jealous as well.. it would be a dream come true for me to be friends with a lynx
May I ask how old you are?
Consider getting a Manx. Bobtail jacked up hunter/semi house cat. They will bond if they want to and only if you act more 'catty' than they are. Hard to explain.
@@smbrowning578 Do you have one? I expect they may be hard to find.
@@ShikokuFoodForest we acquired one not on purpose. Gray/white stripes. At night, slept next to my head. Daytime...proudly brought half dead prey
That's awesome! I potentially have autism (psychologist has said that, but I haven't been tested/diagnosed). Sounds like an epic special interest, lynxes really are beautiful!
He reminds me of my Cat. Hes a mix breed of Domestic Longhair and Norwegian Forest Cat, he's VERY fluffy right now since the temperatures have been dropping outside. I try to keep him as an indoor only cat but he loves being outside and runs out everytime I open the door, and then comes in a bit later. As a result, he's starting to develope a Winter coat, as if he wasn't fluffy enough already.
I think this species of lynx resembles a Maine Coon more than any other breed of cat; this lynx species is also native to Maine.
The brrrmow noise being so similar to housecat noises is adorable.
This is without a doubt, the perfect arctic predator, and that regular population growth and dip stuff is facinating.
Right, it's interesting how their efficient hunting skills benefit themselves in one way and also leads to their downfall in another. I suppose this basic sense of tradeoff can be applicable to other species and how immediate gratification to resources stunts longevity(hello humanity). I sometimes wonder if certain animals like the lynx could build a sense of genetic memory after experiencing the cycle of the fluctuating rabbit populations thoroughly enough over time as their lifespans are long enough to experience the cycle about twice 10-20 years but the idea of genetic memories is still yet to be thoroughly proven, sorry I ramble quite a bit lol
Carrying capacity of sorts; when nature is able to govern its own populations, it's a beautiful thing.
Similar thing with owls.
Wolves are the best artic hunters
A lot of arctic species have a pattern like that. Lemmings, for example, flirt with extinction every single year, only to explode into overpopulation the following summer.
Danielle and the keeper start doing the "PURRMAU" call and my cats immediately wake up and look at the computer.
I love how lynxes are basically the exact same as cats when it comes to interaction among a pair of strangers. Tense eye contact, very loud yelling, and sudden spastic swats until someone gets wigged out and leaves. Lol.
“Here kitty kitty… You’re so cuuuute, let’s cuddle!” 😬
I love how at the end of the video the lynx sort of asked for pets by raising its paws, my cat does that all the time. But now whenever I hear drunk women yelling this cutie is all I'm going to picture
That's so interesting, and Canada Lynx are so gorgeous! Our crew filmed a super important conservation project in Spain that is successfully managing to increase the Iberian Lynx population. We're happy to see these amazing species in their natural habitat!
Wow, that's amazing! Iberian lynxes are beautiful
When he had her call the day, I immediately thought "that sounds like what I do with my cats all the time." So, I started laughing when Danielle said she charts with her cat every day. 😂 I guess cat behaviors really are universal.
I love that the confrontational lynxes sound like two hungover sisters fighting over their morning Eggos.
The screaming at each other. 😂 no lie, this happens in our house. We have 7 cats, they don’t all get along, and sometimes you hear a screaming match just like that going on in the house.
I had a cat that was part bobcat, and we always remarked how much like a rabbit he looked as he ran around. Little did we know how apt that comparison would be! How fun to learn about another instance of convergent evolution.
That's a myth. Domestic cats and bobcats can't interbreed. There are some domestic cats that look bobcat-like, but none that have been found to actually have bobcat DNA.
@@ettinakitten5047 to be fair they never mentioned what part.
Probably a Manx or Manx mix. They have a genetic mutation that gives them a stubby tail and rabbit like back feet, and apparently it's common for them to 'bunny hop' because of it.
@@martianhighminder4539or a Pixie Bob, we’ve had 2. Look a lot like a bobcat (google them)
Sound somewhat like Tasmanian Devils?
So cute. Also, that scream and the encounter with another lynx is meme material.
If somebody at the table tries to steal a French fry, I too like to stare directly into their eyes and scream until they back away. It's very effective, you should try it.
The Canada Lynx is such a mesmerizing animal. They remind me of Gideon from Disney's Pinocchio haha
I saw a lynx while driving once. It went something like “is… that I coyote? A cat shaped coyote?? A CATYOTE!?” It was awesome
omg catyote! That’s such an amazing combination haha! - Rib
Leggy danger floof has giant paws and growls like a human giving birth. I love it
One of your best animal drawings yet Danielle! You enthusiasm for the lynx shows in your work.
I actually yelled "How is she so talented??" at the drawing at the end. She's really impressive at drawing animals, on top of making great animal videos. It's inspiring.
@@birdrustler Not all human beings are equal. Shes super talented.
@@SA77888 All human beings are created equal and everyone has a talent for something.
@@Peace-tk3gr ehhh no, natural differences exist
@@JoSan3 Yes. All humans deserve equal rights, but are not equally gifted.
My current kitty has very prominent tufts on her ear tips that make the vets coo over her every time LoL She definitely has that gene running in her DNA. Probably not lynx, but still a form of past ancestry or convergent evolution.
Probably a Maine Coon, they've got the hairy ears with the tufts.
That Norwegian Forest Cat root 💚
This guy's so lucky, what a job he has working with these beautiful fluffy animals every single day.
i love when animals naturally make noises that sound exactly like human just trying to imitate that noise. those two lynxes screaming could be two women at walmart being extremely annoyed at each other.
Or, is it more like we human evolved to have vocal cord able to imitate a lot of animal in our habitat.
The Walmart part. 🤣 Lots of human/animal comparisons at Walmart. It's like the watering hole on the Serengeti. The Cheetahs who just run through, the hippos who take their time, the gazelles who are just lost in the shelves. 🤣🤣 The lynx's at the self check out.
My father used to feed a bobcat by hand ... he thought it was a feral cat
This is the coolest… I love when they release these “short” videos, teaching us the interesting details about a particular species. It’s so neat, I learn more (in
Thanks Carley!! So glad you’re enjoying our channel! 🎉
Same, I mean, my biology teacher in highschool couldn't even tell a cheetah from a leopard.
@@js66613 did you tell them that one is capable of killing and dragging up a tree an antelope and the other seems to die if you look at it wrong?
@@risariamanx8996 No, but I wish I had done. XD
I’m deaf so they are just majestic and cute, no “until” thank you 💜😊
This was a great video. You seemed so sincerely excited and honored to meet one of your favorite animals in person. I love seeing people who are genuinely enthusiastic about the subject they are presenting. I have always been a fan of owls and hope to visit a sanctuary or wildlife preserve some day to meet one up close. The closest I've ever gotten is when my local community college found a baby barn owl (my personal favorite owl species!) and kept them in a box until animal rescue could come take them. I was able to take a few photos and watch the little owl for a few minutes but did not handle them. Highlight of my college years, haha.
Saw one in the wild once and couldn't believe it. I just watched it while fumbling for my camera and got a decent pic of its rear and back of head with ear tufts and all, as it walked back into the trees. Absolutely gorgeous creature!
I got the honor of meeting a bunch of lynxes in Norway not too long ago. I was very surprised when one decided to sit next to me, and others seemed very trusting of me, giving the same slow blink that domestic cats give and allowing me around them in their enclosure. Even got a picture of it on my LinkedIn 😅
Lynx are beautiful, majestic, and feisty 😁🐈
Before I even watch the video, I've seen a video with two lynx going at it yelling at each other. Absolutely had me hysterically laughing. Sounded like two women going at it over a sale rack in a store. I had to laugh because it was so unlike what I was expecting to come out of a couple cats.
No matter how many times I see them… every time I am amazed by those paws that look like the belong to a lion on these guys, it makes me wonder if they weren’t the original inspiration for snow shoes.
I love the guy at the end, what a gem 😂 "walk with me Danielle!"
Thanks Danielle you're the best! Linxes were my favorite animals when I was a kid, such beautiful creature. LOL for the creeps at night!!
Hi Danielle, just a heads up it is common to hear of sightings of Lynx in Washington state along the border with Canada during the winter. Many of our migratory birds have figured out Washington state is as far south as they want to go and that appears to be just fine as far as the Lynx is concerned. 😄. Some alpine snowshoe adventurers in winter have discovered they were not the only ones enjoying the views of the birds at the lake. 😄
We have them here in northern new england out east they so fluffy.
May I ask where in WA you observed them? We try to keep track of sightings in areas not already known to support lynx. (Yes, I'm a biologist.)
@@deprofundis3293 Do your job!🙄 Yes I told you to do your job yourself!😁😃😉
They are absolutely beautiful, I’ve seen a lynx one time in my life here in north of Sweden but they are quite rare to get a glimpse of. They are so careful and shy so even though we have quite a lot of lynx here they are almost never seen. That time it was dragging some deer which was almost the same size, which is quite impressive. They are strong animals so it’s important to not get fooled of their sweet appearance 🧡
domg heart just melts at the end as he reaches for it and it paws his hand for attention ❤️
i make the same noise when somebody is trying to eat the same roadkill as me
Huge props to you and your team Danielle for getting such amazing footage of all these beautiful and majestic animals ❤️
Here in Maine we have both Lynx and Bobcats. Though the Lynx are rare I have encountered them in the woods before. As for Bobcats, I grew up in a household where the local wardens would bring us orphaned animals and we would raise them. 95% of those we raised returned to the wild after they reached maturity and most we never saw again (though a few would come back from time to time). The other 5% did not return to the wild and remained on the farm and became part of the family. This mostly consisted of racoons, but we also had a skunk and 2 bobcats that stuck around. The racoons were easy to feed, as for the bobcats, we generally fed them raw chicken and rabbit and they were just as affectionate as a domestic cat...just a lot more territorial. They got along well enough with the animals that were already on the farm when they arrived....but they were terrifying to any stray that wandered onto the property. As for people, they didn't care for strangers and although they never tried to attack anybody...they would stalk them while keeping their distance.
I feel so bad, but i started laughing so hard when they started screaming at each other! I needed the giggle today... the Lynx are so cute, yet so dangerous, sorta like Pallas cats! Thanks for bringing my attention to them! What a hoot for you to be able to spend some time with a lynx too!
They so fluffy, I want to hug one so bad
seeing her joy being able to do this gives ME such joy to watch
I will never tire of seeing how weirdly cats interact when they're fighting. The way they just kinda stiffen up and then seem unable to decide if they want to smack each other or not is so goofy. The screaming made it even better xD
Look at those paws! I love them! I want to pet the forbidden floof!
Steve sounds like a fun guy, livin the life petting lynxes in snowy mountains, amazing
theres an episode of brave wilderness with the wolverine and hes the guest star, very based individual
The lynx asking Steve for pets was the cutest thing I’ve seen all day
The Swedish Lynx is also gorgeous! But it has a more dotted pattern like a cheeta, and weighs about 20-25kg
Their body geometry is what really find appealing you said it perfectly, they are like cartoonish cute wild cats... something I did not notice very well until now is their short tail which your explanation makes lot of sense, heat preservation.... very educational material, their body geometry comes to their habitad and feeding strategy.... thank you.
16:40 My partner and I have trained her cat to tap our hands when he wants pets. Cats gonna cat.
It's the ear tufts and fluffy paws for us 😻
Watching this with my cat nearby. The calls at 15min definitely caught her attention. This guy knows what he's doing.
I live in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta. I have seen bear, cougar, coyote, well, lots of animals but never the lynx or bobcat. We had pictures of a bobcat only two blocks away from my place here in Rocky Mountain House. Damn but they are beautiful, and I am such a cat person. If I ever die in the mountains, mauled by a cougar, you can bet your last dollar my last words were, "pss pss pss here kitty kitty." lol
You two are really brave. To see him pet that cat was amazing!
I'd love to see you do an episode about cougars, the largest kitties that can purr! ❤️
More lynx scream videos that was funny to hear them arguing and standing there ground. About an hours worth of Listening to these majestic cats would do for me! That'll be nice.....
Amazing animals. I lived in Alaska for three years and encountered a Canada Lynx in the wild. It saw me, stared at me then waltzed off down the dirt road.
What a great documentary, it felt so professional! 9:44 Also, at least I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that their paws were goofy and cartoonishly funny Also also, Korschel is exactly how I would imagine the Engineer from TF2 to be like lol
This video made my smile constantly (only the Lynx dying part didn't, oc), and gave me several cuteness overloads! 🥰 Thank you for covering this wonderful animal on your channel!
12:19 when Sarah keep cracking jokes about you in the lunch and you finally snap
Wildcats are absolutely majestic. Love seeing how similar they are to their domesticated counterparts.
This episode has everything - a magnificent feline as its topic, beautiful snowy froests & mountains... AND "Nebulae" as part of its soundtrack. Absolutely purrfect! Also, a perentie episode would be cool :D
I've seen a few lynx in the wild, they're really cool and usually very secretive. I watched a mother with 4 kittens one time. Never heard one scream, I'm sure it would be a very spooky sound if you didn't know what it was.
Love watching Daniel smile with such intense enjoyment of each and every subject
The only time I ever saw one in person it was captive, in a tiny 6x4 cage, at some sketch "zoo" my father brought me to when I was young that was just a normal farm with the garage converted into reptiles and fish area, and a bunch of tiny cages outside with wild cats and lemurs and other things that shouldn't have been living outside in Northern Ontario at all, let alone in those conditions. I was drawn to the lynx and spent almost the whole time watching him and feeling terrible for it. That place luckily no longer exists, but there are more like it in Ontario...
Excellent BSG reference tucked in there! 😀 "All of this has happened before..."
So say we all!
Glad you noticed! 😉
I loved Steve’s energy and enthusiasm!
Danielle you're the essence of the channel to me... keep up the great work! And love these fluffy boys
One of the very best episodes ever!!! I love all the crunching of the snow. And your glasses match your nose and coat! I love matching. You're beautiful!
So beautiful! I was skiing in the woods as a child and ran into a lynx. We both scared the crap out of each other. He ran one way, and I skiied off in the other...
The Alaskan dude is living my dream life. He’s eccentric and probably relates to animals better than humans, I’m the same way. I love all cats but lynxes and bobcats are some of my favorites along with snow leopards and Pallas cats. My Maine Coon watched this with me, she was very excited watching the hunting scenes. They are such gorgeous cats and those paws are amazing! ❤😻😽🐈🐈⬛🐅🐆
I believe that the Pallas Cat is the most northerly-dwelling wild feline, living at 15,000 feet in Central Asia.
I think you mean highest-altitude living cat. You sure snow leopards don't go higher?
I'm pretty sure I am not the only one who immediately thought, "I want one" after seeing it pounce on that poor duck with those cute fluffy paws! I'm willing to sacrifice a limb for some squishes with that fluffy kitty.😍
I love seeing this channel grow and Danielle getting to see some of the animals she talks about in person. Living my dream! It's inspiring, really. And I always watch the cat videos with my cat! 😂
- They're so dang fluffy, they look so cuddly. - 4:38 Um, WHAT tails? 🤨 - 7:50 This specific predator-prey cycle (of the lynx and hare) is famous in numerous academic disciplines. It comes from the Hudson's Bay Company's records of how many of each they trapped over time, and was modeled by the Lotka-Volterra equations. I first read about it in an amusing book (by a Canadian professor). - 12:55 Animals can only survive in places humans can't live. (Though often not even there. 😒) - 17:38 To be fair, it's not just cats that would rather play with a box than the expensive toy that was in it, that's true of human children too. 🤷
We have two of these fluffy guys at our local zoo and I cannot see them as predators anymore after watching these wild animals hop into boxes and just sit there like the cats that they are.
This animal is so cute. Glad you did an up close video
I love how excited Danielle gets about seeing all these amazing animals.
I work at a zoo, and watching the lions and tigers and leopards has made me appreciate my cat more too!
im so glad you finally made a video on my favorite animal!! ty. i love them sm
A video on snow leopards would be cool!
I saw a Canadian lynx at Gator Jungle here in FL. It was on its back asleep with its eyes half open & legs splayed out to cool off in the heat. So yeah definitely socially awkward 😂
Jesus, probably because their habitat is way north of Florida; that would be like keeping a Jaguar in the Arctic and expecting it not to shiver.
The confrontation with growling at 12:00 is amazing! Their catawauling is truly awful….
One of my favorite episodes - those lynx calls were on point :)
Here near the Picayune Strand preserve outside of Naples Florida I hear the vocalizations of bobcats quite often. They sound extremely similar to Canadian Lynx. I HAVE seen Florida Panthers but never a bobcat. Very shy.
"Trrr mow" is how Im gonna call my cat from now on. 😁
I see these guys fairly often out in the bush. There is a one particular female lynx I see often with her kittens teaching them to hunt. I always stop, shut my truck off and radio other truckers to let them know where they are at so they can slow down for them. Always a treat to see them out hunting.
Gorgeous animals, and it's rare to see them in action, thanks.
My kitty watched this video and swatted at the lynxes (': Great video!!
I love this channel! Thank you for the beautiful content as always and the great information! Your passion really comes through in your narration, awesome!!! Keep up the great work! Much love
