More lynx kittens
In a spring survey involving radio collars, Division of Wildlife biologists found 46 lynx kittens, the highest number discovered in the six years since the animals were reintroduced into Colorado. A similar survey revealed 39 births in 2004. A total of 204 adult lynx have been released during the initiative; officials believe 63 have died.
