Marshfield Zoo Announces Passing of Lynx
The City of Marshfield Parks and Recreation Department announces the passing of Lexi, the female lynx at Wildwood Zoo, with the utmost sadness. At the time of her death, Lexi was 19.5 years old and considered to be a geriatric cat. A full veterinary exam was scheduled after she was observed behaving atypically and uninterested in food. During her tranquilized exam, Lexi struggled to tolerate the anesthesia, and the difficult decision was made to euthanize her. This was done as a quality-of-life decision. She had several preexisting conditions, including a heart murmur, diabetes, kidney disease, and arthritis, that had been successfully managed for years. Lexi loved napping in the sunshine, rolling in fresh mulch, and playing with feathers. She will be greatly missed for her independent spirit and tenacity. At 19 years, Lexi had far surpassed the average lifespan of lynxes under human care and their wild counterparts.

You may need to charge rent to a few critters before too long. Some of us have had to deal with snakes and bugs in our houses or on our property this summer. And now, one of the best parts of fall is that all of those crawl back into the earth where they belong.
