Jasper, Canada Lynx / Point Defiance Zoo

Meet Point Defiance Zoo’s 9-week-old Canada Lynx kitten. Jasper is part of the Species Survival Plan for Canada Lynx, which are listed as endangered in Washington state. He now weighs about 1.8kg and is being hand-reared by Point Defiance Zoo staff. Jasper will make periodic appearances around the zoo this summer as he grows into his role as an ambassador for his species — via ZooBorns
