On a Sad Note - Lindsay Wildlife Museum Loses Fox 

For those of you who have been to Lindsay Wildlife Museum (our Troop went last Jan), the little gray fox that demonstrated his abilities and got fed in front of us has died.  His name was Jinca.  He lived to be 14-years old (in the wild they only live 6-10 years).  He has lived at the Museum since '96 when he was found as an injured orphan kit.  He was a great ambassador for the Museum and for all our wild friends.
