not sure about a different species, but they are damn big!
The Newfoundland Lynx (Lynx canadensis subsolanus) is a subspecies of the Canadian Lynx. It is larger than the mainland subspecies. This animal is known to have killed Caribou calves when Snowshoe Hares were not available. The other two subspecies are Lynx canadensis mollipilosus and the nominate Lynx canadensis canadensis.
The lynx, in its four species has by far the largest range of any of the felids and in as much inhabits the continents on either side of the Atlantic Ocean. In the ‘New World’, the Canadian lynx is found in both Canada and Alaska, as well as in some of the northern states of the USA, where changes in habitat and over hunting have reduced its extent. Lynx found in Newfoundland are sometimes accredited as a subspecies - that of L.c.subsolanus

I thought them was called "Cougars" not Lynxes or Minxes or whatever !
( ... and I sure don't mind a horn or two of Screech every now & then ! )
No lynx hunting in Newfoundland. Trapping by licenced trappers only.
"...Furbearers accidentally taken in snares by small game hunters should be released if they are alive..."
The regs say to cover kitty with a coat etc. and cut or release the snare. I'd like to see a guy releasing a snared lynx.

I think the only way of getting them here is by trapping. I have a very old lynx fur in my basement that was killed by my grandfather with a old muzzle loader while snooping around the chicken coop.
