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.
Long legs and a short tail are other traits that link a cat to the lynx group. Most lynx are found in areas that often have deep layers of snow for long periods of time, and their elongated limbs help them maneuver through the habitat. Hair on the underside of their broad paws provides traction on slippery surfaces.
