Abstract
This survey attempted to determine whether there is a population of Canada lynx within the area around the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks.  The survey methodology involved a non-invasive technique capitalizing on the natural cheek-rubbing behavior of cats for hair collection and DNA analysis.  This was a follow-up survey to the release of 83 translocated lynx by a team of biologists from SUNY ESF in the late 1980's.
