TIA MARIA TORRES. Owner and Pit Bull Rescuer/Trainer. Tia Maria Torres grew up in Southern California and, coming from a broken home, experienced a tumultuous childhood. Early on, she longed for a family of her own and eventually began to adopt neighboring dogs and stray cats into her fold.
Lynx can be found throughout much of the boreal forest of Alaska and Canada. The southern portion of their range has historically extended into the U.S. into the northern Rocky Mountains/Cascades, southern Rockies, Great Lakes states and the Northeast.
Washington is home to one of the last and largest Canada lynx populations remaining in the United States. Along with bobcat and cougar, lynx are one of three wild cat species in North America. Smaller than a cougar but bigger than a bobcat, Canada lynx have silvery fur and black ear tufts. 2  Their tails are shorter than a bobcat's! 3  Read more on lynx by authority Gary Koehler. 4  Snowshoe hares, the lynx's preferred food, thrive in the dense cover of a brushy forest understory.
