Learning More About Lynx During The Winter Months

One of the responsibilities of a wildlife biologist in the Moosehead Lake region is to research and collect information about Canada lynx. Most townships within this region have lynx present, which was not the case 20 years ago. Our data indicate that the population of lynx across the state has been increasing during that time period. During the snowy months of the year, when the conditions cooperate, we look for signs of lynx, which allows us to determine population status, regional distribution, and to collect DNA.
