Researchers check the condition of the teeth of a mature, 3-5 year old male lynx; this is a good indicator of the age and health of the animal. Canada lynx have 28 razor sharp teeth and the canines are longer and even sharper than the others. Lynx use their canines to quickly grab, puncture, and kill their prey. Photo by Dana Fjare, USFWS.
