Canada lynx makes its way to the county
A CANADA LYNX was photographed in late September 2024, in Addison County. Lynx can be distinguished from the much more common bobcat by their shape and coloration. Lynx have a distinctive posture that slopes down from their elevated hind quarters and a drabber overall color compared to bobcats’ spotted coat. Lynx also have completely black tail tips and light-colored heels. Bobcats in contrast have white- and black-banded tail tips and black heels.
