Canada Specimen Set: Young Lynx: Special Edition (2010)
Two young lynx kits atop a hollowed-out tree trunk.
This one-of-a-kind $2-coin very-special specimen set celebrates the reclusive Lynx, a beautiful wildcat that is easily confused with the Bobcat, but can be distinguished by its oversized paws, shorter black-tipped tail, long thick fur, prominent face ruffs, and distinct ear tufts.
Females usually produce a single litter of 3-4 young between May & July. They are born under uprooted trees or in hollow logs, typical of the boreal forest. Lynx kits look like domestic kittens. They are reared solely by their mother, but will be ready to establish their own range by the following spring. |
