Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Lynx Family of Five” by Thomas Spence. Location: Tofte, Minnesota.

“The mother and her four young take a brief break from hunting snowshoe hare in northeastern Minnesota,” explains Spence. “They would occasionally group up like this, always keeping eyes in all directions, still hunting while at rest.”
