Scientists used a Fitbit and a spy mic to gain new insights into the secret lives of the Canada lynx, one of the most elusive big cats. The experts -- stemming from McGill University, University of Alberta, and Trent University -- were able to capture more than 14,000 hours worth of audio of the lynx to study. The Canada lynx (pictured) is one of the most elusive big cats in North America. The researchers used the GPS of the Fitbit to track the behavior of a male lynx over one day. In March, a Canadian farmer filmed himself grabbing a lynx by the scruff its neck and yelling at it for killing his chickens.
