Trist, who lives in Ontario, said he and Lewis spotted the two lynxes screaming in each other's faces while they were riding in an off-road vehicle, CBC reported.
According to National Geographic, lynxes make this screeching scream in confrontations, especially when two wild lynxes meet for the first time.
"It was really bizarre," Trist said, adding, "You (usually) just get a quick glimpse of them and they're outta there. Two of them, together, head-butting each other and squaring off? It's extremely rare."
Trist said he and Lewis watched the lynx for 10 minutes "and they didn't even care that we were there.
Trist said people around the world have contacted him about the video.
He said he planned to return to those woods on Monday. He said hell keep an eye out for the lynx.
"You often see something. There's so much wildlife," he said. "But it's all luck running into that (lynx encounter). Somebody said maybe I should buy a lottery ticket."
