Major threats to the canada lynx include habitat loss and fragmentation, competition with coyotes which have encroached on some lynx habitat, and climate change which is altering the snowy ecosystems these wild cats inhabit. Two populations of this species are known to live in the cape breton highlands. they inhabit particularly dense, coniferous forests. these wild animals generally inhabit rocky areas around swamps and bog. the home range of these territorial animals extends from 5.8 to 19 square miles (15 to 50 km 2).
