Tim Newton, an Alaskan, awoke in late September to the sound of scratching at the front door.

Because Tim’s residence is close to the forest, he assumed that a wild animal, maybe a bear, had approached him.

He was shocked to find a swarm of young lynxes and their mother when he was looking through curtain.

Tim Newton is a wildlife photographer, so he had his gear ready and started recording seven lynx kittens playing on his porch and their mother sitting and observing her children.

Meanwhile, the lynx cubs were chasing each other and playing.

– They rushed back and forth, acting as if they were attacking one other. And all I did was keep pressing the shutter button on the camera, snapping shots and marveling at my good fortune. The lynx cubs were quite adorable.

The lynx and her kids totally ignored Tim as he was photographing them.

They presumably didn’t see his face because of the camera, according to the man. The lynxes were able to see his eyes as soon as he withdrew the camera.

They were concerned, and the mother went into the forest to take the lynx pups away from the home.

They spent around 40 minutes on Tim’s porch in all.

Tim shared the images he took on his Facebook page, and they rapidly went viral on social media and throughout the world.
