The Canadian Lynx is able to walk in the snow due to it's 'larger-than-normal' feet. Larger feet give you more surface to walk on, spreading your weight more evenly over it, and lessening the sinkage into the snow. Think of snow shoes that people wear on their feet - the giant tennis racket looking things. Same thing with the Lynx.
