*** About Lynx: The lynx, a key figure in this artwork, is a medium-sized wild cat known for its sharp senses and distinctive physical features, such as tufted ears and a short tail. Found primarily in the boreal forests of Canada, the lynx thrives in its remote, snowy habitat, primarily preying on snowshoe hares. Adaptations like large paw pads allow it to expertly navigate the deep snow, while its solitary and somewhat elusive nature adds to its mystique in both folklore and wildlife studies. This depiction in art underscores the lynx's role in the cultural and ecological fabric of Canada, symbolizing both the beauty and the resilience of the natural world.
