SEATTLE — Zoogoers can now view the three Canada lynx who arrived in Seattle last year.
Named Yukon, Monty and Marty, the lynx live in a new facility in Woodland Park Zoo’s Living Northwest Trail. The public can expect to see the 3-year-olds moving throughout their habitat.
Lynx live in high elevations of forests across northern North America and globally have a low risk of extinction, the zoo said.
They’re endangered in Washington, however, with a population of fewer than 50 almost entirely in Okanogan County, according to the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. Lynx trapping has been prohibited since 1991.
