A Canada lynx that invaded a henhouse looking for an easy and quick meal got a earful instead from the farm owner.

And Chris Paulson also recorded himself holding up the animal by the scruff of its neck and telling off the seemingly growling and scowling cat with its black, tufted ear tips, massive paws, and thick grey fur about the damage the feline left behind.

The video went viral. Paulson says he heard a commotion coming from his chicken coop on Sunday and went to check it out when he saw the lynx had killed two chickens and was going for more.

However, Sergant Ron LeBlanc of the BC Conservation Officer Service, says Paulson should not have picked up the cat or interacted with it because while the Canadian lynx is not known to attack humans, it has very sharp teeth and claws, and formidable survival skills.

Calgary volunteer soldier recovering from Ukraine injuries hopes to return to front lines as war marks four years

As Ukraine marks four years since Russia launched its full scale invasion, a Calgary man recovering from serious injuries says he intends to rejoin his unit once he is medically cleared. Mac Hughes has been serving with the Ukrainian armed forces since the early months of the conflict in 2022.
