The missing lynx

If you're lucky, you may catch a glimpse of this wily wildcat species in the northern extremities of Canada and the US state of Alaska. But a bit further south in Montana, USA, where our homepage photograph was taken, a Canada lynx encounter like this is rare. While once they roamed across many of the northern US states, for two decades they've been listed as threatened in all except Alaska.
