Stunning new video shows a Canada lynx prowling around off northern Minnesota's Gunflint Trail. Sarah Hamilton, owner of Grand Marais' Trail Center Lodge, says the rare wild cat was roving around her snow-covered deck on Sunday afternoon, seemingly unconcerned with her dog's barking.

The owner of the Trail Center Lodge on northern Minnesota's Gunflint Trail captured footage of a close encounter with a Canada lynx over the weekend. Sarah Hamilton posted the video on Facebook, showing the lynx going for a stroll on the lodge's deck, much to the consternation of a family dog inside.

Seeing a Canada lynx in the wild can be exciting as these solitary animals are stealthy and often elusive. Their dense fur coats not only keep them warm but also blend seamlessly into snowy environments,
