LUCKY LYNX – (Above) Aaron Leef-Kaytor (second from left) looks on as Heather Kaytor and Philip Merchant lift Damage the lynx out of a Department of Environment truck at the top of Haeckel Hill on Monday afternoon. The young feline was struck by a vehicle on the Alaska Highway just below the hill, so the area he was released in is probably familiar territory, Merchant said. Below: the lynx bounds into the trees after being tipped out of his temporary bed. Lynx live primarily on snowshoe hares, and the relationship between the two animals is one of the most studied preyhunter connections, with reports going back to the first days of the Hudson’s Bay Company.
