No lynx kittens found this year

Efforts to reintroduce Canada lynx into southwest Colorado began in 1999, with 218 lynx released into the wild since that time, and 116 lynx kittens have been born in the state since 2003, but no lynx kittens were born this year or in 2007, the Durango Herald reports. One possible cause: a decline in snowshoe hares — the lynx’s main prey.
