Canada Lynx have razor sharp teeth. Watch as our female Lynx easily shreds through this bison meat. Four of their 28 teeth are long canines. These are primarily used to puncture and hold prey. The carnassial teeth, located behind the canines, are used to shred meat into smaller more manageable bites. You can see our lynx doing this in this video. In the wild, lynx primarily eat snowshoe hare. Here at the preserve our lynx are spoiled with a diet of bison, moose, chicken and quail. #LynxLunch | Y

Fun fact: Although Canada lynx have been known to eat a variety of prey, such as birds and other small mammals, 90 percent of their diet is made up of snowshoe hares. Have you ever spotted a Canada lynx in the wild? #InternationalCatDay 🐱 📹: Mike Dembeck | Nature Conservancy of Canada / Conservation de la nature Canada
