| Food habits of the lynx in Alberta and the Mackenzie District, N.W.T | |
| 1966 Canadian Field-Naturalist (80): 18-23 | |
The contents of 75 digestive tracts from Canada lynx were analysed. Showshoe hare was found to be the most frequently occurring food item throughout the year (79 per cent in winter, 52 per cent in summer) followed by microtines (10 per cent in winter, 31 per cent in summer). Other mammals found were red squirrels, ground squirrels, beaver and deer. Birds occurred less frequently. Grouse and ducks were most important. |
