@Yellyist Yes I felt very lucky! actually followed one of them into the bush on another occasion, it always stayed the same distance away(about 30 feet) if I moved a foot closer it would move a foot away.
I Can't Imagine One Reason Why People Would Kill The Lynx. When You Think About It If People Grew To Them Before They (Maybe) Go Extinct They Could Be Really Friendly!! I Wish There Were More Of Them Though... <3 I LOVE LYNX'S!!
Lynx are one of the safest animals in the forest when there is no man hunting them. can rival any animal on there shared territory. and can shelter up trees, if outnumbered
rich westerners come in my country and kill the carpathian lynx for their own pleasure and I hate it! one day they'll be gone. such a beautiful cat...they're very hard to spot where I live
Bentmex, relax. You were not in any danger with these cats. I have had similar experiences with these animals in the wild. Unless its rabid, they really just are very curious. Good film.
I only got a little worried when I was about 10 feet away, they were hunting and wanted nothing to do with me, the young ones seemed a little couriois.
I am a biologist who has radio tracked a lot of bobcats in Florida. I will tell you flat out that this film is extremely rare, for as secretive as Lynx can be. Totally impressed with this.
Normally where I filmed this you wouldn't even see them but since there is little to no hunting or trap lines they have become used to the road and people stopping to take pics. What I did was NOT safe...
im guessing u live in canada? My next door neighbour has a half tabby half canadian lynx. It is very big and very strong. Its like 40% bigger then a normal cat!
Ntaaw! Makes me dont want to shoot them :( Beautiful animals, Next year I will go hunting for them, but its hard. Wierd that you got that close! strange... Good video thank you! ( and a very nice car, hehe )
I dont think we are allowed to have those as a pet here in Norway where I live, but I would definitely want to have one taxidermied! or maybe hunt one and just have the skin of it on the wall, cause thats not as expencive :)
@1980NewWave Wow... He did not do anything to them at all.. They are unharmed and on their way and now we all get to see a beautiful video of these AWESOME creatures in the wild.. Awesome video!
@DarkIllusionHokage - my comment had nothing to do with this video. I was responding to another commenter here who stated that if he saw a lynx, he'd shoot the animal.
well considering how many of they who lives its not as expensive. Animals are not like humans, ofc they have feelings, but we have been hunting them and we always will... no matter if u like it or not :(
lynx are almost extinct so not that many around. We also use to hunt and eat each other so making definitive comments like "we always will" is plain silly. Lucky for you wild animals like the lynx do not have thought processes like man otherwise given what we've done to them and their habitats we'd scarcely be able to leave our homes without being taken out.
@Gonamez how could you say such a thing why would you shoot or eat a poor cute animal? or i can't believe i'm going to say this word that i hate so much but taxidermied animals do not deserve that even if you did not kill the cute little animal why on earth would you make a trophy out of animals? it's people like you that are making all the worlds animals extinct
I want a lynx baby as a pet. But I know I cant cause they need to live in the wild. I wanna have a lynxfriend atleast out in the woods.

normally i would agree.. but these lynxes in particular didn't seem to really notice or care about the people filming.
I've hear in general these types of lynxes are a bit for timid than others
you can, in fact, own these as pets due to their more tame nature. just have to find a breeder.
