Deer hunting quietly through the snow once, I walked up on a squirrel about eye level on a tree. He would look at me, look away and look back. I noticed he was looking at a large bobcat, who was also looking at me then looking at the squirrel. I remained very still for about five minutes as it seemed to be a strange standoff when suddenly the bobcat leapt about 8-10 feet, six feet up the tree and snatched the squirrel and ran off. I'm so grateful for my time in nature.

Wow! that was just amazing. Having been born in Alaska, my heart is very much with these creatures. Never thought I'd get to see such awesome videos of them! Thanks so much for these!
Thank you for this incredible video! I love watching the lynx! What beautiful animals and their voices are amazing. The wolverines are vicious but it’s their tenacity I can’t get over. Enjoyed getting a glimpse into their world.
My dogs are doing the same but mine are dogo argentino and 3 presa canario’s of which I’ve trading them all for protection and for large game hunting. Dogs are definitely man’s best friend! Cheers to you shepherd for looking over you!🍻🍻🍻
My lab charged the TV. Then I told her to sit and she did but she was all wound up. I'd play a second of the lynx vocalizing, and she'd bark in response. Then I'd play another part of the lynx vocalizing and she'd bark. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. It was a lot of fun. 😀

We have bobcat & fishers (and then some!) amongst hundreds of acres of farmland, fields, woodlands, reservoirs, etc in back of our property where i am in CT... Seeing this video just warms me from the inside to see such healthy animals & gives me hope that video like this can do so much good (as you mentioned with wolverines). The ecosystem is so much more fragile than ppl evn realize - nevermind its incredible importance that so much remain intact/ be protected for all of us
Was the Lynx calling for a mate? Her kit? Or, was it being territorial cuz of food in the tree? The strength, power and intelligence of these majestic animal is amazing!
I was also wondering that. I'm guessing the loud one was territorial, and the softer one might've been to call her cubs. That's how it is with leopards & lions.
Tasmanian devil is up there too but my vote goes to the honey badger. You can’t tell from this video but those wolverines are the honey badger’s slaves. They know if they don’t bring back the goods, they’re dead meat.

Is this Swan Valley MB? I saw a Lynx cat's a few different times logging in the Duck Mountains north of Grandview mb. Just the way they move through the forest is like a phantom. We knew that we were in their home and gave animals as much respect as we could.
I have a friend i worked with back in seventies on the drilling rigs. We were way up northern Canada. And he was driving to the rig when he struck a Lynx. Winter time he got out kicked the cat a few times it didn't move so he grabbed it and threw it in the backseat of the car. 10 minutes later than cat woke up. I never seen a man so torn up absolutely mind blowing. Only thing that saved him was he managed to get the door open and it was all over. But what a mess it made of him. Scars he'll talk about for the rest of his life.
@SwanValleyConnectionsCondon it's a true story. Hearing the story told by him was so surreal. He said he thought of putting it in the trunk. But decided to just throw in the back seat. He was so sure it was dead. He wanted to have it stuffed. But the cat had other plans.
Спасибо за такое чудесное видео ! 💋💋💋💋💋 Посмотрела несколько раз ! 👍👍👍👍👍Полный восторг от картины природы .. Мои любимые рыси ! Таинственный зверь росомаха ! Спасибо за волшебство зимнего леса !!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Look at the difference between man and these animals Man would need clothes hats mits fire tools shelter. The flip side is man can change to his environment The moral of the story is don't take anything for granted and give the respect these animals deserve
Please read the caption and learn more about the collaborative noninvasive research and monitoring efforts (which played a role in wolverines recently being listed as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act) at www.swanvalleyconnections.org/rare-carnivores Have a great day.
Thanks so much this video is awesome,alot of us would never get to see them and as a animal lover I really loved this. Too bad trapping and hunting wasn't banned its gotten out of control and the cruelty of it is hurendious!
The good news is that our data set was used to make the decision for the wolverine to be listed as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act last year! You can learn more about the project at www.swanvalleyconnections.org/rare-carnivores
To the person that makes the video . How long does it take to establish a bait station like these with this much activity? Its extremely great to see and those old devils usually prevail when it comes to their stomach. Great video Also you know why the lynx s ream the way they do at the bait ? Hahaha
These are multiple different stations, accessible by snowmobile and snowshoe, over a 10 year period. You can read more about the research at www.swanvalleyconnections.org/rare-carnivores
@SwanValleyConnectionsCondon I live in Alaska see a few lynx and wolverine once in the wild . But I've hunted over bait in the U.P. of Michigan for coyote it amazed me how fast all predator come to say beaver carcasses. Had three young bobcats on a bait one morning they sure were fun to watch . Thank you for your reply and sharing the link much appreciated.
Do you guys ever get cougars or bears trying to take the bait as well? Would have to assume it brings about a host of carnivores, not just the wolverines and lynxes (is the plural still just lynx?). Great footage!
Those Lynx sounds-now I know!! Wolverines have SO MUCH energy. I wonder if them being so low to the ground help conserve energy? Any scientist out there??
They do look similar! Lynx are slightly larger and have longer legs, relative to their bodies, very large paws (that act like snowshoes), a black tip at the end of their bobbed tails...lynx fur tends to be more grey-ish while bobcats can be more of a reddish tone.
Lynx kinda sounds like a Vixen sometimes with those calls, just a higher tempo. Didn’t know they sound like that and thought it was just trying to decoy to hunt a fox. Love the Wolverines too. Fascinating to watch
Yea, we can see that! It's definitely a rare thing to hear in the wild, and makes your hair raise when you first hear it out there. Glad you enjoyed it! If you want to learn more about the project, you can find it at www.swanvalleyconnections.org/rare-carnivores
I had to go back and watch the beginning several times, slowed down and enlarged to make sure that Wolverine wasn't packing off a human leg with a foot on it. I knew it wasn't but couldn't convince my eyes. lol
The lynx and a wolverine I have never saw a lynx in the wild but I swear I saw a wolverine crossing the hwy one time on my way home from work is was dark but how big it was and how low to the ground definitely tells me it was not a racoon as I have seen many of them even rescued a couple baby racoons
No doubt, I saw one once as well. They're so reclusive that I think some individuals might exist in areas where we don't expect them to be. Mine was in a area on the fringe of their typical territory and at night. A state biologist wasn't so sure being as it was also near some human housing but they searched the area as it was during the winter and actually found some tracks of at least one spending time in the area - they thought that it might have moved south out of its normal territory during the exceptionally cold winter that year. By the tracks, they figured that it stayed in the area that was basically a suburb all winter and then disappeared come spring.
Our rare carnivore monitoring program is only in the winter, and that's one of the reasons. But we also do a lot of bear-human coexistence efforts throughout the year! www.swanvalleyconnections.org/swan-valley-bear-resources
For our rare carnivore monitoring program, we snowmobile and snowshoe to remote locations and also backtrack lynx and wolverine, so we have a decent idea of where they like to travel. www.swanvalleyconnections.org/rare-carnivores
Heck no! It takes a certain ferocity to survive (and thrive) in the environment and conditions they do. If you've never read "The Wolverine Way," it's an amazing read.
By having to climb to the bait, it's more likely that the animal will leave behind some genetic samples (aka fur). The fur helps us identify the individual animal and helps paint a picture for abundance and distribution across the landscape. These bait stations are in remote areas accessed by snowmobile and then often snowshoeing, and our team isn't able to replenish the stations often. This is all part of an ongoing rare carnivore research project that has provided some critical data for land and wildlife managers, and our data was used in the decision to list the wolverine as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act last year.

Amazing just to SEE lynx and wolverines, let alone to see mating play and behaviors!! What a marvelous video.
Thank you!
This video deserves millions of views. Some of these images are rarely filmed.
Yes, I agree it is so rare to see Wolverines.
And Lynx what can I say so delightful to see and hear them talking!

@Whatt787 yes but rarely, like coyotes
Thats crazy nuts!!! 😆
Fantastic archives.
Lynx and wolverine STILL around giving a snippet of thier lives to us❤
I agree. Those lynx are so beautiful they almost look fake. Too bad more people don't appreciate nature as it is truly incredible.
Phenomenal footage. Hopefully this program will help protect these precious animals.
Our data was used in the decision to list wolverines on the ESA in 2023! www.swanvalleyconnections.org/rare-carnivores
How positively awesome! Yeah for the win for them!
When the Lynx was calling I guarantee someone heard a Sasquatch…😂 great video!
Haha definitely
As a sasquatch i can tell you we lack proper vocal chords, and more like gorilla we make clicks and gruff sounds.
As another fellow sasquatch I can tell you we have splendid vocal cords and make the most wonderful duck sounds. Quack, quack!

When the Lynx called, my German shepherd came running to as if to protect me, sat down and wouldn't leave my side😅
My dogs are doing the same but mine are dogo argentino and 3 presa canario’s of which I’ve trading them all for protection and for large game hunting. Dogs are definitely man’s best friend! Cheers to you shepherd for looking over you!🍻🍻🍻

Thanks for putting this together. What a treat!!
Fabulous! Great to see the wolverines!
Those deer legs on the tree look like a horror movie!! .. But I'm glad the animals appreciated them !! Great video!
lynx noises for the win
My large male cat was fascinated every time the lynx howled. Of course I turned up the volumn for him.
My Cats,too. They were like," WTH?!" 😂
This is great very rare to get to see this kind of nature ,make more please,

Pound for pound it's said that the wolverine is the most tenacious critter in the world 😊
The American honey badger is what I think of them as. :D
And we've heard that if ermine were their size, no one would step foot in the woods! Weasels are a formidable bunch.

Were those Fishers? I'm a logger in northern California and we have had them around before. neat critters to watch when you can

By having to climb to the bait, it's more likely that the animal will leave behind some genetic samples (aka fur). The fur helps us identify the individual animal and helps paint a picture for abundance and distribution across the landscape.

Yes. Wild creatures should be left to their own without human interference. I’m thinking of the POS that tortured the Wolf cub last year. What a jerk.
I think I've decided Lynx are scarier sounding than a hyena.
Haha it is a very interesting sound
What happens when biologists nail deer bits to a tree
wolverines are really just short king bears
we don't disagree

Why hang the stuff in the tree
If the bait wasn’t nailed down you would never see this on video.
