Winter in the Chinese mainland’s Heilongjiang Province – home to the snow-clad Greater Khingan Mountains – is known for its frosty beauty ❄️, but this winter, wildlife fans got a major treat: rare sightings of an adult lynx and a small herd of moose roaming through the snow.
Photographers braved the chill and used motion-sensor camera traps to capture the elusive lynx moving alertly between trees. About a kilometer away, a group of moose—including a mama with her calf—made gentle tracks across the winter landscape 🦌💕.
Scenes like this are a reminder of how diverse our planet’s wildlife can be. While many of us see snow only in viral reels on our feeds, the Greater Khingan Mountains offer a real-life winter wonderland that few get to witness in person.
These snapshots highlight the importance of habitat conservation. Camera traps—remote devices triggered by movement—help researchers monitor animal populations without disturbing them. It’s a win-win for science and the creatures who call the forest home.
