A lynx has been spotted Prince Edward County, a rarity in the area, which is about a 2 1/2-hour drive east of Toronto.
The elusive creature was spotted in the tiny hamlet of Cressy, not far from Picton, by resident Paul Wallace.
“My neighbours saw the lynx sitting on their front lawn, then it strolled off to the Cressy Church and sat there before proceeding west to our property,” Wallace told countylive.ca.
“In the past few weeks, it has been seen around the Glenora Ferry area and Lake on the Mountain.”
Lynx, which have prominent ear tuffs and large furry feet, are seldom seen as they are wary of people and are found in places with cold, snowy winters and lots of their prey, the snowshoe hare.
According to countylive.ca, an Ontario Parks post from biologist Christine Terwissen says lynx, generally live north of Algonquin Park.
Terwissen said their tracks have a round shape with three lobes on the pad and rarely have claw marks.
