Kass liikus P\u00f5hjasaarel asuval Purerua poolsaarel, kus looduskaitsjad olid alustanud haruldase pardiliigi pateke-piilpardi taasasustamist. Nad arvasid, et piirkonna metsikute kasside arv on kontrolli all, kuid juba n\u00e4dal p\u00e4rast esimeste lindude vabastamist leiti esimene hukkunud part.<\/p>\n
Valvekaamerate abil selgus kiiresti, et s\u00fc\u00fcdlaseks oli \u00fcks suur hallikirju kass, kelle iseloomulikud m\u00e4rgid tegid ta \u00e4ratuntavaks.<\/p>\n
Kolme aasta jooksul tappis Nine Lives hinnanguliselt k\u00fcmneid pateke-piilparte, mis moodustab ligikaudu \u00fche protsendi kogu selle haruldase liigi populatsioonist. Lisaks arvatakse, et tema saagiks langesid ka kiivilinnu tibud, kohalikud gekod ja mitmed teised Uus-Meremaa p\u00f5lised loomaliigid.<\/p>\n
Looduskaitseprojekti Pest Free Purerua juht Andy Mentor tunnistas v\u00e4ljaandele The Guardian, et kass ajas kogu meeskonna meeleheitele. \u00abTa ilmus t\u00e4iesti ettearvamatult. M\u00f5nikord n\u00e4hti teda videokaameras \u00f5htuh\u00e4maruses, siis kesk\u00f6\u00f6l v\u00f5i hoopis keskp\u00e4eval. Vahel kadus ta kaheks-kolmeks kuuks. Mingit mustrit ei olnud, mist\u00f5ttu oli teda peaaegu v\u00f5imatu tabada,\u00bb kirjeldas Mentor.<\/p>\n
Vahepeal \u00f5nnestus looduskaitsjatel kinni p\u00fc\u00fcda mitu teist metsikut kassi, kuid Nine Lives lipsas iga kord k\u00e4est. Just seet\u00f5ttu saigi ta h\u00fc\u00fcdnime \u00dcheksa Elu.<\/p>\n
Juuli l\u00f5pus m\u00e4rkasid looduskaitsjad, et kass k\u00fclastas kolm \u00f6\u00f6d j\u00e4rjest \u00fchte karj\u00e4\u00e4ri, mis oli tema kohta ebatavaline k\u00e4itumine. Nad paigaldasid sinna p\u00fc\u00fcnised ning meelitasid looma l\u00f5he, praekana ja k\u00fc\u00fclikulihaga. 30. juulil saatis valvekaamera telefonile teate, et \u00fcks puuridest on sulgunud.<\/p>\n
Kohale j\u00f5udnud p\u00fc\u00fcdjad leidsid eest kauaotsitud Nine Livesi. Loom hukati kiiresti ja valutult.<\/p>\n
N\u00fc\u00fcd uurivad teadlased tema maosisu, et saada t\u00e4psem \u00fclevaade sellest, milliseid loomi ta viimastel kuudel s\u00f5i. P\u00e4rast uuringuid prepareeritakse kass ning teda hakatakse kasutama hariduslikel eesm\u00e4rkidel, et tutvustada inimestele metsikute kasside m\u00f5ju Uus-Meremaa loodusele.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kass liikus P\u00f5hjasaarel asuval Purerua poolsaarel, kus looduskaitsjad olid alustanud haruldase pardiliigi pateke-piilpardi taasasustamist.
