Rare and often misidentified animal species caught on video in Colorado

The Denver Gazette reports

On Wednesday, Colorado Parks and Wildlife shared video footage of a rare animal sighting that Colorado outdoors people are sure to enjoy.

The footage shows two Canada lynx that were spotted moving through the snow in Silverton recently, a sign of success following a reintroduction effort that took place for seven years in the 1990s.

Today, the species is still considered to be federally threatened and state endangered, with around only 150 to 250 lynx calling Colorado home today.
