Mama Lynx and Her Kittens Come Visiting
Although we love animals, seven kittens and their mother – a lynx – on our doorstep is a bit much. Lynxes are the only native cat species to Alaska but can be found in North America even though they’re rapidly becoming scarce.
It is unclear why this lynx chose to bring her kittens to this specific person’s porch, but such a large litter is uncommon. The best habitats for the lynx in Alaska occur where fires create a variety of vegetation types due to an abundance of their prey.
