Videos of two shrieking lynx posted by Ontario man and his girlfriend go viral
An Ontario man who shot a viral video of two lynx shrieking in each other’s faces says he’s no stranger to the animals, but was shocked by what he saw.
“I knew right away it was going to be a rare, special capture,” said Ed Trist, who lives in northern Ontario.
Lynx are normally skittish, he noted, so he was surprised that the creatures stuck around after he, his girlfriend and his 11-year-old daughter came across them while driving their ATV down a logging road east of Kenora, Ont., on Friday evening.
The videos — one shot by Trist, one by his girlfriend — show two lynx sitting face-to-face, shrieking, their foreheads nearly touching.
