We featured the most spectacular “I woke up to this” moments earlier this month, and Tim Newton’s encounter from Alaska sticks out among them.
“Tim’s peace was disturbed last week by noises coming from his deck, prompting him to look outside.” To his astonishment, he quickly got his camera… and what followed was just incredible. “A mother lynx with SEVEN adorable kits!” he wrote on his social media website.
“Summoning them with her gentle calls, they formed a neat line just outside, right in front of where he stood (mind you, he was safely positioned behind the screen door!). This was nothing short of a remarkable encounter with ALASKA’s WILD LIFE!!! Without delay, they embarked on a spree of dashes and gleeful playfulness on our deck, soon transitioning to our yard.”
“After careful observation, I’ve surmised that lynxes devote approximately 1 percent of their active hours chasing rabbits, while a whopping 99 percent is reserved for chasing after their energetic offspring. The scene was an unceasing medley of cavorting and spirited frolics,” he shared.
The words from Tim Newton’s account provide a heartwarming glimpse into this extraordinary episode of wildlife in action. It is a testimony to the astounding beauty of nature that he was able to witness up close, capturing a heartwarming interaction that encapsulates the essence of Alaska’s untamed allure.
