I followed it for a short distance until it spotted me and retreated into the bush. I walked to where it disappeared and then noticed in the corner of my eye movement. It was the lynx staring out at me from under the safety of a fir tree. The longer I stayed taking photos the closer it approached me, until finally this lynx walked beside me back to where I left my dual purpose bike. I’ve returned to the same area numerous times but it seems the lynx has moved to another location. ... Hide full submission

Appears rather tame compared to the 2 that i seen this past summer, almost as if it was waiting for humans to feed it.

Wow, amazingly confident!!! I like both cats and wildlife, so the lynx is my favorite. However I never seen one in nature, some day I hope. But the fact that lynx can live quietly without beeing seen or rarely is also convenient for me.
As the cat use to do, I think that, at the begining, the lynx was purging himself by eating grass; Which one, meadowsweet or something else close ?

Absolutely made my day to see this!

About three years ago (Sept or Oct) I saw a lynx one evening near Doyle's in the Codroy Valley. It was sitting at the edge of the TCH staring across at a cabin. It sprang across in front of my vehicle, and didn't touch down until after the yellow line. Amazinly high on it's legs.
I once heard that someone said to an old trapper that he'd never seen a lynx even after a lifetime of trecking through the woods. The old guy said, "don't worry, they saw you".

While kayaking near Leading Tickles, Newfoundland with my friend, this friendly beluga decided to play with our camera. The first video (see "Beluga Steals Camera" below) shows how he takes the camera. This video is from the whale's point of view after it stole the camera while it was on.

Over the past six months he has become a regular visitor around my house each day. It took him a short while to become comfortable around me but now he will let me scratch his back and brush him and even an occasional ride on my shoulder. Every morning he shows up looking for his favourite snacks, which include walnuts, cashews and peanuts. He spends hours just hanging around my house, relaxing, and even enjoys sitting on my bike while I work in the garage. He has become so comfortable that I introduced a hat to him and he loves to wear it while eating. Shakey has now become my pet.
