[Do you know]
THE LYNX IS A kind of wild cat, which lives in the snowy forests of the Yukon-British Columbia border. It is about as big as a sand cat and it's prey includes rodents, rabbits and other small animals.

Scientists have launched a project to capture a whole bunch of lynxes and bring them to Colorado, which is in America. There, it will be warmer and more food. A three-year-old female lynx named Chilkat was one of those cats who will be transported to Colorado. She had been caught in a trap, and then driven to her new home. After a checkup, the vet noticed that she had a puncture wound and amputated her left leg but apart from that, she was healthy. Next she was radio-collared and released into the wild.

After a few years, the scientists discovered that Chilkat had mated. Her mate was another lynx from Canada, named Larry. Soon after mating, Chilkat gave birth to four kittens, but two soon died, probably killed by coyotes or plague. But the other two survived.
Then, next summer, Chilkat gave birth to four more kids. However, many obstacles remain for the Colorado lynx. For example, development, poaching, traffic, etc. The people of Colorado and also, the people of our planet, should work together to protect and preserve this amazing animal.
