Oh, my gosh, I wonder what could have happened to the little tyke?  I certainly am anxious to read what the autopsy report says, and I am concerned that this should happen to him when he is with his mother.

Oh my goodness, eagle, thanks for posting this news. I had not yet read the daily blog this afternoon. My Kinderchicklets will be very sad to hear this news, as am I. :'( :'( :'( We had become quite attached to these little cubs. :'(

Sadly Jason, one  of Lily's cubs passed away yesterday.  We will have to wait and find out what the report is before we know why he died.  They took a long hike, almost half a mile from where they were after they left the den in the swamp so they don't know if that is what did the little guy in or not. Faith on the other hand is alive and acting like a young bear.

Elaine L:
As bad as things are for the camera, it would have been awful if Lily had swallowed it.  I am glad that this did not happen.  I was reading in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago about an alligator who swallowed a whole phone, and I am not talking cellphone here; it was an actual, fullsize telephone, I think it even had a fax machine attached to it.  The alligator was not feeling well at all after this, and the article said they were thinking they were going to have to operate.  I never saw anything again about this.  I wish I knew what happened to that poor alligator.

Kinderchick:
It sounds as if the research biologists at the NABC are not too pleased with what Lily did to the webcam yesterday afternoon... ::)

After spending the morning around their bed, Lily and Hope visited the den in early afternoon to drink from the pool of water forming outside it. Then things took a turn for the worse. At 1:25 PM CT, we saw the inside of Lily’s mouth as her jaws closed over the camera. The camera is encased in a clear plastic housing so it is safe, but we haven’t been able to manipulate it since. She may have tugged at a cable in the process and discombobulated something. It’s aimed at the den and can’t be moved.

Well, at least we know that Lily & Hope & family are still in the "neighbourhood", so to speak! ;)
