Observations on home range sizes, movements and social organization of lynx, Lynx canadensis, in Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba.

Abstract

Home ranges for 2 females averaged 156 km2 and that of a single male was 221 km2, all figures higher than reported in the literature. Two females travelled with their kittens together for a short interval. Riding Mountain National Park does not appear to be large enough to sustain a viable lynx population over time, and reinvasion of lynx from outside areas may be necessary to maintain populations.-from Authors
