Photographer Ethan Eisenhaur recently captured this incredible photo of a Maine lynx using a trail camera.

The picture was taken using a DSLR camera trap set up in the western mountains of the state, Eisenhaur said. The camera functions similarly to a game camera and takes a series of pictures when movement is detected.

He shared the picture on Facebook Friday.

Lynx are known to be elusive and fewer than 1,000 are believed to live in Maine, according to the state department of Inland Wildlife and Fisheries.

Eisenhaur grew up in Maine’s western mountains, according to a bio on his website.

“I have always enjoyed spending as much time as I can in the wilderness,” his website states.

Completely agree and I’m aware that sometimes a Silver alert can be triggered when the person is older or has a disability and they are in danger. I know it was used in this case but it’s still so frustrating because I know that both of them are very much loved by a huge community of people. I have known Angela since I was younger and she can be difficult to understand on the phone. I wish that there’s something that people could volunteer to help find her. Thanks for your reply and sorry if I was a bit harsh but this really sucks and I pray that they are found safe

On the one hand I've seen some of the stuff tourists pull up there. On the other hand, come on, Nancy. On the other, other hand, half the restaurants are closed half the week and the other half run out of half their menu items midway through Saturday dinner rush, so, captive audience.
