Lynx Sighting in Colorado Mountains Photo Gets Viral

Here is a rare Lynx sighting in the Colorado mountains last weekend.  The photo was captured by a retired National Park Service employee.  The photo of the two lynx has already gotten viral on Facebook and the social sharing site Reddit.com.

Enjoy!

According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife:
Sightings prior to that time were few, scattered throughout mountainous areas of the state. In 1999 an ambitious program of lynx restoration began in the remote San Juan Mountains, and by 2005 more than 200 animals had been released, a number of litters of kittens had been born, and lynx were expanding throughout the high country and occasionally beyond.
