The legacy of Canada lynx “GLNR-S-571” on Minnesota’s Superior National Forest

Minnesota, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

Early last spring a Canada lynx carcass was discovered on the edge of a Superior National Forest (NF) road by Superior NF volunteer, Gary Olson.
Little remained of the carcass except some hair and most of the skeleton (the skull was missing). Through detective work, Superior NF wildlife staff were able to figure out the cat’s identity. A sample of the hair from a front paw was sent to the USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station National Genomics Center for Wildlife and Fish Conservation. The DNA results told us ‘she’ was GLNR-S-571, aka “The Trappers Lake Female.”
