In the world of Lynx Genus, coat colors are typically predictable, with Canada Lynx commonly displaying shades of gray or reddish brown. However, this unique find has shaken up the scientific community as a melanistic lynx, characterized by its dark coloration, had never been recorded before.
The researchers are intrigued by this newfound specimen, but they also express concerns about its natural disadvantage in the often-snowy habitats it inhabits.
