Cat and lynx friends, woman saves homeless kitten, missing dog rings doorbell, and baby capybara.
Kitty!
They also had two lynx enclosures. Not sure how many lynxes there were in total, we spotted at least three sleeping somewhere between the trees.
"Scientists estimate that there are now less than 150 adult lynxes in France, with levels of genetic diversity so low they could be locally extinct in 30 years"

Gates of the #Arctic National Park and Preserve is an #American national park that protects portions of the Brooks Range in northern #Alaska. The park is the northernmost national park in the United States, situated entirely north of the Arctic Circle. The #park is the second largest in the #US, slightly larger in area than #Belgium. Gates of the Arctic was initially designated as a national monument on December 1, 1978, before being redesignated as a national park and preserve upon passage of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act in 1980.
A large part of the park has additional protection as the Gates of the Arctic #Wilderness that adjoins the Noatak Wilderness. They form the largest contiguous wilderness in the United States together.
Fauna include brown #bears, black bears, #muskoxen, #moose, Dall #sheep, timber #wolves, #wolverines, #coyotes, #lynxes, #marmots, #porcupines, river #otters, red and Arctic #fox species, #beavers, snowshoe hares, muskrats, bald #eagles, golden eagles, peregrine #falcons, ospreys, great horned and northern hawk-owls. More than half a million caribou, including the Central Arctic, Western Arctic, Teshekpuk, and Porcupine herds, #migrate through the central Brooks Range twice yearly, #traveling north in summer, and south in winter. Caribou are important as a #food source to native peoples. The park is the northernmost range limit for the Dall sheep. About 132 brown bears reside in the park and preserve, based on a density of about one bear per 100 square miles.

Some years ago, Novosibirsk zoo brought in a domesticated cat to care for a lynx that had been rejected by its mother, and she raised it along with her own kitten.
