Photographer Amy Toensing holds a lynx that is to be reintroduced to the Southern Colorado wilderness. The holding facility behind Toensing held 23 lynx that were looked over by a CDOW vet, 18 of which were collared and released that week.
In 1999 the Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) began a lynx reintroduction program, trapping the animals in Canada and bringing them to Colorado. The goal is to re-establish the lynx population in the state, which has been nonexistent since the 1970s, to a viable level where the population that can sustain itself. (source)

You'll note that it's asleep. If it was awake, those razor sharp claws would make short work of Amy.
ReplyDeleteAmy would be sliced and diced
DeleteI saw a lynx in Colorado before this program was public. The Division of Wildlife would not admit they were placing cats in the state.

I wouldn't mind taking wildlife photographs with that photographer.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking beaver shots.
