Abundance Notes
Lynx populations in Wyoming are small, perhaps being less than a dozen pair in the whole state. Despite regular surveys and the high-profile nature of this species, very few occurrences are reported in GTNP, suggesting that they do not consistently occur there.; Data Source: Doug Keinath - Lead Zoologist - Wyoming Natural Diversity Database
