The Canadian lynx found in downtown Fredericton last week has been returned to the woods after spending a week at the Atlantic Wildlife Institute.
The animal was captured by the Department of Natural Resource officers, with the help of Fredericton Police, after it was spotted near a downtown church.
The lynx was set free in the woods roughly 100 km from Fredericton.
Biologists say the area will provide the cat with abundant food sources it needs.
