The Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis).

“And this is what happened, and this is why the caribou and the wolf are one; for the caribou feeds the wolf, but it is the wolf that keeps the caribou strong.”
― Farley Mowat

Animals are like kids, they don’t pose easily and certainly not when you ask them to. Two raccoons kindly obliged for this memorable capture. Shot at a local wildlife refuge.

“I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it’s such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her.” ― Ellen DeGeneres

“She has a memory of trees and fields and nothing more.” (James Thurber, The White Deer)
