Christopher Pratt wrote, "I have seen only one lynx in the wild, and that for such a brief, cat-flash of a time, I would not be sure of it had I not found its tracks. I had climbed over a little rise on the Murphy's River path. I saw this cat-shape in some bushes just ahead of me and an explosion, that was all; but its tracks were in the snow. Lynx are aloof and wild; they don't 'scavage' after man like bears and foxes.
I drew the animal against an expanse of barren land to emphasize its secretive, surrealistic stature in that wilderness. This is a rabbit's eye view of the lynx - its last view, I imagine.
I wanted to pay homage to the lynx. Later, we named our first racing sailboat 'Lynx.' "
