Canada Lynx or Lynx canadensis is a species of lynx native to North America, including Canada and parts of the United States.
Although the Canada Lynx normally has a light brownish-gray fur coat, there have also been reports of black-furred individuals.
The black-colored type had never been photographed, but in 2022, a lucky person could snap some images that quickly went viral.

A Canadian researcher from the University of Alberta managed to capture the animal. An employee of the Yukon government named Thomas Jung captured a video of the animal on his phone.
