Parting Shot: Chips, the Bobcat Kitten

Betsy Russell reports: The bear cub with burned paws who was rescued from Idaho’s Mustang Complex fire is not the only baby critter in that fix; fire crews rescued this baby bobcat, nicknamed “Chips,” from the Chips fire in California on Saturday. The tiny female kitten, about the size of a domestic kitten, had burns on all four paws and an eye infection, and is being treated at Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care, where she is expected to make a full recovery, and after being sheltered with other bobcats through the winter, will be released back into the wild.

I’d love to take Chip home, but I’m afraid Milo and Thor wouldn’t approve.
