## Caption

Did you know? The Canada lynx can only run fast over short distances (honestly, same), so it stalks or ambushes its prey at close range. 🐾

Their food of choice? The snowshoe hare — unlike any other cat, the Canada lynx relies almost exclusively on the snowshoe hare for food. Good thing Canada lynx are made for hunting in deep snow, with thick cushions of hair on the soles of their feet that act like built-in snowshoes. 

Along with their big fluffy feet, these lynx also depend on forests — and forests are being threatened by the so-called Fix Our Forests Act.

Despite the name, the F.O.F.A. is really a massive giveaway to the timber industry that would boost logging in national forests while gutting protections for Canada lynx and more than 100 other imperiled species that depend on forests for survival.

Please, take a moment to urge your senators to protect our nation's forests and reject this deeply cynical, reckless bill!
