(Yukon Lynx Yowling (taken from video by Kevin Chan) from Michelle Oakley on Vimeo. #yukonvet)
Kevin Chan, grad student at Trent University in Canada, took this video of wild lynx in SW Yukon that we radio-collared earlier this winter. Big female on right & smaller (possibly amorous) male on left. It’s getting close to breeding season, but not sure ‘big momma’ is woo’ed by the little guy… Kevin’s original video went on for 5 minutes of this face-to-face yowling, until finally the male SLOWLY backtracked. It is not uncommon for lynx to totally ignore people this time of year, so not surprised Kevin could get this close while the lynx went about their noisy business. #yukonvet
