DENVER (AP) - A federal appeals court heard arguments Wednesday over whether a lynx that has federal protection in Colorado is still protected if it wanders across the state's southern border into New Mexico.
Federal wildlife officials consider the lynx endangered in Colorado, where more than 200 of the elusive, long-haired cats have been reintroduced since 1999. Some have had kittens.
Some have drifted into New Mexico, and environmental groups argue they should be protected there as well.
