FRIDAY Mama Lynx And Her Seven Kittens Make Surprise Visit To Alaska Resident
- 7 years ago
Anchorage resident Tim Newton awoke to the sound of something running across his deck in the area of Flattop, last Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. So naturally, he went to check it out.
"I crept over to the window and opened the curtains a crack, and could see it looked like a cat," he told Channel 2. But to his surprise it was no regular house cat.
"I started to think nothing more of it," he said. "But then I noticed it had really big feet and little tiny hairs on its ears. So I knew then it was probably a lynx kitten – not a full grown cat."
Newton says he captured approximately 10 or 20 photos, before the lynx kittens disappeared off the north end of the deck to the other side of the house. Ultimately, this led him to discover the rest of the litter and mother lynx.
