Lynx have retractable claws and can rotate their large hind paws 180 degrees, making them excellent climbers who often rest in trees during the day.
The Canada lynx has such large paws that they can support twice as much weight per square inch as a human foot, allowing them to walk on top of deep snow.
Lynx are mostly silent hunters but can make over 30 different vocalizations, including chirps, chatters, hisses, and screams that can be heard up to a mile away.
A single lynx needs a territory of 5-40 square miles depending on prey availability, and they can travel up to 12 miles in one night while hunting.
