The cat meows! The majestic lynx is filmed roaring as it wanders through the snow-covered Maine forest – before spotting the wildlife camera lens and lovingly LICKING it

Two hiking photographers captured a majestic lynx as it let out a mighty roar in a snowy forest, then showed its affection by licking a camera lens.

The clip was shot by videographers Colin Chase and Allie Ladd, who regularly shoot wildlife in the Maine woods.

They were in Rangeley, home of the Maine Forestry Museum, in February and hid some cameras to get some interesting footage.

They ended up obtaining several minutes of footage of three Canada lynxes, a specialized predator native to Canada, Alaska and parts of the northern United States.

Viewers could hear them roar during the videos, but they could also observe the animals’ healthier, tender side.

At one point in the video, you can see the lynx looking for mates and claiming their territory.

Lynx are wild cats and experts say they can be wild. They are specially adapted to the snow conditions in the forests of the region.

However, the healthiest moment came when one of the furry cats walked up to the camera and licked it.

The footage, compiled for Chase’s Maine Woodsbooger YouTube page, is a few minutes long but offers an exciting look at these beautiful creatures.

According to Conservation Northwest, lynxes are one of the most endangered cat species in North America, with only a few hundred believed to be in the lower 48 states.

The species is listed as threatened in the United States under the federal Endangered Species Act due to its common use in the fur trade.

The greatest threat to the Canada lynx in the United States is fragmentation of their natural habitats.

They are not considered endangered in Canada, although the species’ population has always been small, according to Wildcat Conservation.

Although indigenous to the western hemisphere, there were once plans to reintroduce the lynx to parts of Scotland.

However, in recent weeks Britain’s environment secretary, Thérèse Coffey, has said that “we just don’t have to and won’t do it,” according to the National History Museum.
