Lake Superior Zoo welcomes two new big cats

DULUTH, Minn. (Northern News Now) - Two big cats now call the Lake Superior Zoo home.

Canada lynx brothers Bjorn and Floki recently arrived in Duluth from the Pittsburgh Zoo.

While Minnesota is one of the few US states where the Canada lynx is native, their species is threatened here.

Lake Superior Zoo leaders say this is due to healthy boreal forests and the local snowshoe hare population, which is their primary prey.

You can now see the cats in their newly renovated exhibit.
