Two trail photographers captured a majestic lynx as it let out a mighty roar in a snowy forest, then showed its affection by licking a camera lens.
The clip was shot by videographers Colin Chase and Allie Ladd, who often capture wildlife in the Maine woods.
They were in Rangeley, home of the Maine Forestry Museum, in February and hid some cameras to get some interesting footage.
They eventually obtained several minutes of footage of three Canadian lynxes, a specialized predator native to Canada, Alaska and parts of the northern United States.
Viewers could hear them roar during the videos, but they could also watch the more wholesome, tender side the animals showed.

At one point in the video, you can see the lynx looking for mates and claiming their territory.
Lynxes are feral cats and, according to experts, can be ferocious. They are specially adapted to the snow conditions of the region’s forests.
However, the most wholesome moment came when one of the furry cats walked up to the camera and licked it.
Curated for Chase’s Maine Woodsbooger YouTube page, the footage is a few minutes long but is an exciting look at these beautiful creatures.
Lynxes are among the most endangered cat species in North America, with only a few hundred suspected to remain in the lower 48 states, according to Conservation Northwest.
The species is listed as endangered in the United States under the federal Endangered Species Act because they are often used in the fur trade.
The biggest threat to the Canada Lynx in the United States is the fragmentation of their natural habitats.
They are not considered endangered in Canada, although the population of the species has always been small, according to Wildcat Conservation.

Although native to the Western Hemisphere, there were once plans to reintroduce the lynx to parts of Scotland.
However, in recent weeks, UK Environment Secretary Thérèse Coffey has said that “we just don’t have to and won’t do it,” according to the National History Museum.
