Endangered lynx makes its first appearance in Vermont in years

The sighting of the injured Canada lynx, the first confirmed in Vermont since 2018, highlights the ongoing threats to its population and habitat.

Wildlife biologist Brehan Furfey stated, 'Canada lynx are endangered in Vermont and threatened nationally, making any verifiable lynx sighting in our state important.'

Gary Shattuck, the observer, expressed concern about the lynx's health, remarking, 'I was concerned [the animal] looked far too thin.'

The fact that a local resident had never seen a lynx in his nearly 50 years living there emphasizes the rarity of the sighting.
