## Resource

Three adorable Canadian lynx kittens and a baby porcupette are the newest stars at the Minnesota Zoo—two female lynx will soon join the Minnesota Trail exhibit, while their male sibling heads to another zoo, and the tiny porcupette, born just weeks ago, is still getting cozy with mom Maple. The lynx family was heartbreakingly small: mom Torvi passed away shortly after birth, but her kittens are thriving under care. These rare wild cats and their prickly little cousin offer a sweet reminder of nature’s resilience—and why the zoo’s trail is worth a visit.
