Though this video might not look like much, it shows something pretty remarkable. This footage, which we captured this past September on the Kabetogama Peninsula, is the first confirmed observation of lynx kittens in Voyageurs National Park (and one of only a few observations of known lynx reproduction in the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem). Although lynx have been observed/documented in the park sporadically for several decades, there has never been evidence of kittens in the park (i.e., a breeding population of lynx). As a result, most lynx in and around Voyageurs are likely transitory individuals (predominantly males) roaming large area. From 2000 to 2004, biologists with the National Park Service made a concerted effort to study lynx in the park. They only documented the presence of one male and one female, and concluded “lynx were either transient or present at a low density”. Another study from 2007-2008 in and around Voyageurs National Park using trail cameras and snow tracking did not detect the presence of lynx. However, they noted that there were some sightings of lynx outside of the park with one unconfirmed report of a female lynx with a kitten observed to the west of the park. The researchers concluded that “even though patches of high-density snowshoe hare habitat exist in the Voyageurs National Park area, the low density of snowshoe hares at the landscape level would not support resident lynx”. Based on this research and some subsequent work, researchers with the park concluded in 2015 “it does not appear that there are currently resident lynx”. In fact, the researchers in 2012 concluded: ‘only three confirmed observations of adult lynx have occurred within the boundaries of VNP since 2001”. Obviously, studying these elusive animals in places like Voyageurs has historically been difficult because trail camera technology was not what it is today (or did not exist). However, trail cameras have provided a great tool to observe and understand lynx in places like Voyageurs. Skip forward to today: we now routinely get numerous observations of lynx each year in Voyageurs National Park as well as outside the park. Many observations are likely of the same few individuals wandering around, though, based on physical appearances, it seems we are capturing observations of more than 1 or 2 lynx. That said, in general, our trail camera data generally supports the conclusions of the Voyageurs National Park researchers. Most lynx likely are transient individuals, and certainly lynx are at low densities in and around Voyageurs. Nonetheless, this observation of a lynx with two kittens shows that lynx can reproduce in this area, though such occurrences are likely rare. One observation of reproduction is not evidence of a self-sustaining resident population but it suggests it might be possible. Anyway, this finding just highlights how our trail cameras, which are deployed to study wolves, simultaneously capture rare and valuable data on other wildlife species that have been traditionally difficult to study.

Nine-Year Marriage Ends in Tragedy in Bengaluru Bengaluru On Monday late evening, a techie couple died by suicide within the jurisdiction of the Kothanur police station at the high-end Nikoo Homes residential complex in Bhartiya City, #Bengaluru. The deceased have been identified as Bhanu Chander Reddy Kunta (32) and his wife Bibi Shaziya Siraj (31). Both were originally from #Telangana and had been living in Bengaluru for several years to pursue careers in the #IT sector. According to preliminary police reports, the tragedy unfolded in stages within Tower 6 of the apartment complex. Investigations suggest that Bhanu Chander first took his own life by hanging inside their residence. Upon discovering her husband’s body, a distraught Shaziya allegedly climbed to the 17th floor of the building and jumped to her death. Police have registered two separate Unnatural Death Reports under Section 194 of the BNSS. The couple had been married for approximately nine years, following a period of live-in relationship. They had been residing at their current address in #BhartiyaCity for over a year. While Shaziya was employed with a prominent multinational tech company, Bhanu Chander had reportedly been unemployed for some time. Preliminary inquiries suggest the couple was facing persistent domestic friction and Bhanu Chander was battling ongoing health issues. The Kothanur police of the North East Division are looking into all angles, including their digital footprints and personal records, to understand the exact sequence of events.
