Black Canada Lynx caught on camera for the first time
The lynx in the movie is a very rare species because of its wide range of coat colors.According to Jung, variations like these are frequently adaptations that may be helpful (adaptive) or harmful (maladaptive) to evolution.
Melanism in any animal has not yet been proven to be advantageous or disadvantageous by scientists. However, Jung considers the lynx’s feature to be maladaptive because it results in a lack of essential camouflage. The animal would probably stand out in the snow while hunting in the winter because of its darker hair.
