February may be the shortest month of the year, but these photos don't come up short. This month's series of photos features a nesting amauti situation, watchful caribou and a lazy lynx.
Here's a look at the top reader photos for February from Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and Yukon.
Esther Powell packs her daughter Taqtu in her amouti. Taqtu, also in an amauti, packs her teddy bear. The teddy bear in an amauti packs Alvin the chipmunk in his amauit. Esther made the amauti to commemorate her Scottish roots. (Submitted by Esther Powell)

Pierre-Emmanuel Chaillon took this photo of a lynx when he was standing within just 8 metres of the animal. He snapped photos as it groomed itself and napped in the sun. 'My god cats are so lazy,' he wrote in a Facebook post. 'It was a little bit frustrating to see this amazing cat so comfy with his big fur when I was shivering few metres from him.'
