2019 Canadian Geographic Wildlife Photography of the Year
Animals in Action Winner.
A Canada lynx kitten shelters from the winter wind in North Bay, Ont. Photographer Megan Lorenz says, “I’ve been able to spend a great deal of time with a wild female Canada lynx whose territory has included a friend’s property for the last two winters. This winter was even more special because she brought her two kittens with her. This kitten would have been approximately eight months old; they usually leave their mother at 10 months when the breeding season starts again. The young lynx will often stay together for a while once they’ve left their mom.”
What judge Daisy Gilardini said: “Even if there is no visual ‘action,’ in this shot, the tension is palpable. It looks like the lynx is about to pounce. I love the intensity of the look, and how the photographer used a low perspective and the snow in front of the lynx. Perfectly sharp and framed.”
