THIS MAN WOKE UP TO AN UNEXPECTED SURPRISE AFTER HE DISCOVERS THE ORIGIN OF THE SOUND THAT TOOK AWAY HIS SLEEP

 

Alone in the house, he was enjoying his day. Snow has already covered the house and going out wasn’t something he wanted to do. He lit up the fireplace to make the room warm, covered in his favorite blanket he lay down on the sofa that was some feet away from the fireplace. He could see the snow from the window of his house that made the outer environment beautiful. As they say, God is the most beautiful artist, the outside of his house was looking extremely beautiful. His coffee mug was almost finished and he wanted more but the warmth inside the blanket didn’t allow him to move out. Both the sofa and him were now comfortable with each other.

He kept staring outside until his eyes were tired enough to make him sleep. He was almost in the first phase of sleep taking over him when his ears alarmed him to something. Ignoring the sound he didn’t open his eyes because that would break the sleep. But then after a few minutes, he heard the same noise and this time it was much louder. Alarmed he sat on his sofa, looking around the house he saw nothing but the sound struck his ears again and even much louder this time. The moment he found the origin of the sound he was taken aback and no words came out of his mouth. What happened? You’ll find out soon.

Wilderness Is Shrinking

It took over 200,000 years for us human to reach a population of 1 billion and some 200 years to reach 7.7 billion. You can imagine the pace at which the human population has grown. Today, human civilization could be found in every corner of this world. We have touched those grounds where the animal has control. These untamed lands filled with diverse wildlife are now being controlled by humans, but when a wild animal decides to cross that border between a human and the wild, things become pretty interesting and terrifying at the same point. The same happened with this man whose door was knocked by a wild animal which shocked him to the core.

Describe The Wild

The term “wilderness” is normally described as an uninhabited, and an inhospitable land area filled with all kind of animal species. This term is derived from Old English meaning “land inhabited by wild animals.” Only a few decades ago almost 50 percent of the Earth’s land was recognized wilderness and today it is just 23 percent. So, when a wild animal knocks at our door we shouldn’t be surprised as it was us who knocked at their first. But this story was amazing because what happened when he saw who this wild animal was and what came next stunned him and, everybody.

Unusual Day

He was enjoying his afternoon nap when he heard some noises outside his house. Alarmed, he wore his slippers to see who this stranger was. When you are alone in the house and something like this happens we become extra cautious because we aren’t aware of the situation. Even this guy was terrified when these noises started to become louder. What happened next would shock the hell out of you as it did for him.

The Massive Taiga Forest

The Taiga is the superabundant forest that covers exactly all the northern hemisphere. This is so huge that it covers Russia, Scandinavia, Northern Japan, and the Arctic Circle.

A Frozen Jungle

Alaska is entirely covered by the Taiga, filled with spruces, pine trees, cedars, and hemlocks that cover 10.9 million acres of land. For most of the flora it becomes very difficult to survive the harsh climate of the Taiga, but because the surroundings are filled with lichens and moss, the “needle-leaf” trees rule the area. Even in summer, temperatures could fall to 20 degrees, but nothing can beat -65 degree in winters. Regardless of these extreme conditions, the wildlife in the Taiga is still thriving.

Wild Things Roam Here

Many of us think that Alaska is covered with snow for the whole year, but that’s not true. Snow could be found in winter season but when winters come to end this place can experience pretty mild temperatures. This is the time you can see 32 different carnivore species in play. Alaska is the only state that has this huge number of species found in one place. Other than Wolves, brown bears, coyotes, and wolverines. But there is one particular creature that is only found in this area.

What Happened That Day?

He was enjoying his stay in the house because he didn’t feel like going out and decided to take off from work. But little did he knew, his staying home alone would change his life forever. He could hear noises that were coming from the outside of his house. He knew the area and these noises seemed familiar to him. Still, he didn’t want to take any chances. But he had to see what it was and when he did things changed for him.

Even the cats seemed to be enjoying their moment when something stopped the play completely.

The Mother Commands Their Attention

One moment they all were playing and the other moment the cats started running away from the scene. That’s when Tim noticed it was because of the mother who entered in the scene.

Amazing Facts About Lynx Cat

After reading this story there is no doubt that the Canadian Lynx is an amazing creature. They are found in very few places and that too in Alaska. Tim was lucky that he was able to see this beautiful creature alive and made captured everything. Here we have some amazing facts about this species that makes them even more beautiful and cute.

Amazing Hunters

The Canadian Lynx are born carnivores and prey on mice, birds, red squirrels, voles, ptarmigan, and grouse but their favorite is the snowshoe hare that fulfills their food need most of the time. Lynx is really smart as they cover their prey with a layer of snow so that other animals don’t find and they could eat it later. The mother is the main hunter in the pack that makes sure her children are well fed until they reach a certain age. After which they are left alone to survive on their own.

Life Structure

The female lynx gives birth to between 1 and 6 kittens. In the 1900s their population saw a massive decline because of their fur which was traded to other countries. Because of the cruelty, this species has been put on the list of threatened animals in the United States. The fur trade in the past and the urbanization are the two human factor that has led them to such condition.

Tricky Animal

The mating season for Lynx last only for a month period that occurs in the spring between March and May and that also depends on the climate. As their population has decreased drastically, it’s very rare if you could spot one roaming in the are. Tim was lucky but because they are not that easily spotted they have earned the name “shadow of the forest.” Seriously, Canadian Lynx is an amazing creature and we should try to save this creature.
