Lynx and Hare Cycles Highlight Park Wildlife
In RMNP a linked hare and lynx cycle drives predator behavior. Snowshoe hares surge then crash, influencing lynx ranges from local territories to migrations across Manitoba. Lynx diet shifts with hare abundance, focusing on hares but readily taking deer and other prey during scarcity. Observations include a notable moose interaction and fox population changes, with expert notes from University of Manitoba and ongoing inquiries for wildlife sightings to Ken Kingdon.
