This video had gone viral.  Awesome interaction is all I can say.  Extremely rare capture.  As the person who shot the video said, "how many people run into this?".  Right place, right time. 

The Canada Lynx is at the top of my list of animals to see in the wild.  I've seen them at the Toronto Zoo but it simply isn't the same obviously and you feel kind of sorry for them to be caged up.  That is really no way to live. The other must-see, baby saw-whet owl in the wild got fulfilled recently.  Maybe the same will happen with the Lynx.

A mating pair. The animal on left is a female. You hear this during mating season in March into April in the north where lynx can be common at times, depending on the hare cycle. Hearing it at night is unnerving. I woke up to it once when they went off behind my cabin. Really unusual to see it, though. Great.

Interesting video. Although the tone used is different, I have heard farm cats square off with this same type of gradually escalating feline howl until the actual fight or mating activity breaks out. And often it is a pre-mating ritual when a male finds a female in heat. Disturbed many a peaceful sleep of mine when I lived on a farm as they could go on for awhile and almost always in the middle of the night! :|
