Canada Lynx (lynx canadensis)
The canada Lynx is found in Canada and alaska, on mostly thick snowy terrain. The climate of the area is mostly; Cold, snowy, very few prey, deep thick snow all over. The canada lynx has adapted in many ways, it uses thick fur that changes colour during seasons in order to keep itself warm, during summer the fur changes from silvery white to reddish brown in order to absorb more of the solar heat. Another adaptation of the lynx is the wide paws, these have adapted to become large and spread out to help the lynx move through the thick snow without sinking into it. Another adaptation of the lynx is within it's teeth, they have nerves within their canines which enables them to feel where they've struck their prey as well as when the prey is dead, this enables their hunting to become more efficient, this process comes into use especialy on the Snowshoe hares.
