"DENVER (AP) — The discovery of 10 lynx kittens this spring marks the first newborns documented in Colorado since 2006, heartening biologists overseeing restoration of the mountain feline.

The tuft-eared cats with big, padded feet were native to Colorado, but were wiped out by the early 1970s by logging, trapping, poisoning and development. They are listed as threatened on the endangered species list.

Biologists found no kittens the past two years, possibly partly because of a drop in the number of snowshoe hares, the cats' main food source.

This year, seven male and three female kittens were found in five dens."

2. And if the Japanese researchers could make it glow, imagine the endless market

But Id take a non-glowing one.

I once thought it would be cool to own a Bengaled Cat, but then I read they take huge bites of your furniture and projectile shit. So, actually, in the end, wild cats (and their hybrids) should stay wild.

4. If the Asian market believed it made their dick harder or longer it would be extinct.

Lets hope it has a chance.

6. I'd go farther - I oppose all recreational/profit-motivated hybridizing

of wild ANYTHING with domesticated anything.
