and finally, AT1 who was born in the release site on c. 20 January 2011

Has anything been decided yet about Athena status in the program?
As to whether she can be re-released at a later date? Not yet.
Hope Athena will get a second chance, but realise this depends on her behaviour as she could pose a risk. This is a difficult problem and new cubs cannot be endangered. I feel for Athena and hope the her situation can change.
i was wondering how Phyre has been doing? any cubs?
How is Phyre doing now that she’s lost the cubs? ALERT Facebook page mentions that she might be given contraception until the pride can be moved to a larger area. I am curious, is there a relation between Phyre losing the cubs and the size of the release area?
