Despite the best efforts to ensure the health and safety of Colorado's newly returned cat, the lynx reintroduction program still suffers losses, some rather unexpected and even a bit bizarre. In late summer 2005, more than five years after he was released into Colorado's wilderness, the lynx nicknamed Larry, Chilkat's mate, wandered into an elk farm and was trampled to death. It remains to be seen whether Chilkat will find another mate and produce more litters.   —Mary Jennings Top Related Links Colorado Division of Wildlife: Lynx wildlife.state.co.us/species_cons/lynx.asp Read updates, view photos, or donate to the program on the Colorado Division of Wildlife's website dedicated to the cat it has brought back.   U.S. Fish and Wildlife: Lynx mountain-prairie.fws.gov/species/mammals/lynx Learn more about recovery, critical habitat, and the listing decision from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife's Endangered Species Program.   National Park Conservation Association: Lynx www.npca.org/wildlife_protection/wildlife_facts/lynx.asp Get a general fact sheet on lynx and learn which U.S. national parks they can be found.   IUCN Reintroduction Specialist Group  www.iucnsscrsg.org/pages/1/index.htm Learn why the World Conservation Association supports reintroduction programs such as Colorado's lynx program.
