- Researchers have used the snow tracks of animals to estimate a species' distribution, but the results are often not conclusive. Now, scientists have discovered a way to gather specific data from snow by sampling eDNA from the tracks of elusive carnivores.

This method may revolutionize how threatened species, like the charismatic lynx, are studied and how their habitat is managed. Created during the 2018 IWFF Filmmaker Labs, this film highlights the importance of conservation through collaboration by bringing together the scientific minds of two distinct branches of the U.S. Forest Service.

Researchers are using environmental DNA to help monitor and measure populations of rare snow-dwelling species like Canadian lynx. If you'd like to learn more, read on here: on.natgeo.com/2QUr5Ut
the silence out in the bush in winter is deafening . you can hear sounds from miles away . I can't imagine what the animals with far more acute hearing pick up .
Very interesting!
Knowing the individuality of snowflakes was my eureka moment.
Very cool!
Technology just keeps getting better by the day. Imagine being able to find never before seen DNA samples.. Awesome stuff National Geographic. Thanks :)
Bigfoot DNA
I love the people out there doing this 💕
These are very intelligent people thankful
They're so beautiful 💕
A very sophisticated method. 👍👍👍
"I learned to appreciate the quiet in the cold"...
0:15 *shows up on a snow motorcycle*... smh
wow!!! such beautiful animals!! would love to encounter them on my hikes here in Colorado I know there are plenty just haven't seen one myself.
Now that is pretty cool being able to use snow as a way to get dna from endangered animals
It's a pretty neat process, isn't it? If you'd like to learn more, you can read on here: on.natgeo.com/2QUr5Ut
Quite amazing.
That's really interesting. I hope that through this science that more spaces can be preserved. Lynx are such beautiful animals too
Awesome
Snowmobiles are not quiet! The winter woods on snow-shoes is quiet. Been there, done that.
wow, amazing
I've been a hunter all of my adult life and I've never seen a lynx (don't worry, I've no interest in shooting one, I'd just like to see it). They're such amazing looking cats and I bet one that was used to you would love some ear-scratches or perhaps access to a heating pad/woodstove hearth.
Never came across an ocelot either although I've read that they're in all 50 states.
Wolf packs are fun to watch especially if they're just hanging out. Frequently it turns into a kind of dog-park with the playing and chasing. Although photos and videos don't do them justice. Wolves are HUGE. I saw an Idaho wolf pack that was all black. My first thought was, "I'm never camping here."
Black wolves in the dark? No thank you :-)
I saw an ocelot once when I was about 10. It was in our barn in Utah.
@@captainbilly9443 they're such cool-looking cats...
wow so nice video
Que paisagem maravilhosa....a verdadeira felicidade não é mais do que a Grandeza deste vídeo que hoje me é dado a ver!! Estas pessoas estão de certo modo em grupo com a neve, as árvores, o solo, as espécies e as. nuvens e a ajuda da tecnologia para encontrar espécies...uma delas o emblemático e carismático lince para compreender as suas essências!! A natureza tem em seu contexto muito a nos ensinar com as suas leis peculiares ... porém a sua compreensão é algo que requer paciência, mas onde anda ela?! Mesmo com a tecnologia mais avançada e a fotografia ainda não sabem quantos linces há??
Why does the Genomics Center keep a camera inside of their sample refrigerator?
THATS SO COOOOOOOOL E DNA sounds so simple n impossible but it actually works wow
Awesome 🇮🇳
I saw a lynx once.
thats why you have to ware shoes, otherwise they track you down
Thank you so much! I'll make sure to give this a try in Red Dead Redemption :D
What's the difference between a lynx and a bobcat?
One is bigger but you are talking about the Canadian Lynx not the lynx family
So, the next logical step is....check the DNA from Bigfoot tracks!
(spoiler alert: they won't be bigfoot)
stiimuli but could you imagine them also finding unknown DNA, and how exciting that could be!?
👍👍👍
I always thought lynx and bobcat are the same animal
A bobcat is in the lynx family but they are talking about the Canadian Lynx
Ok Thal I Love u
ผมมีตัวเมีย2ตับคับอย่างได้น้ำเชียตัวผู้ของคุนมากคับ
*Just use a thermal camera!*

nice skeletons

Waaaaaauu
Dammit i aint firat ;)
Hola
you scientist are opening a dangerous can of worms.
Can humans breathe? Please nat geo I need you to answer this question every time i ask this to a person they walk away
