Sky Lynx Quotes

This is the one thing I hope: that she never stopped. I hope when her body couldn't run any farther she left it behind like everything else that tried to hold her down, she floored the pedal and she went like wildfire, streamed down night freeways with both hands off the wheel and her head back screaming to the sky like a lynx, white lines and green lights whipping away into the dark, her tires inches off the ground and freedom crashing up her spine.

This is the one thing I hope: that she never stopped. I hope when her body couldn’t run any farther she left it behind like everything else that tried to hold her down, she floored the pedal and she went like wildfire, streamed down night freeways with both hands off the wheel and her head back screaming to the sky like a lynx, white lines and green lights whipping away into the dark, her tires inches off the ground and freedom crashing up her spine. I hope every second she could have had came flooding through that cottage like speed wind: ribbons and sea spray, a wedding ring and Chad’s mother crying, sun-wrinkles and gallops through wild red brush, a baby’s first tooth and its shoulder blades like tiny wings in Amsterdam Toronto Dubai; hawthorn flowers spinning through summer air, Daniel’s hair turning gray under high ceilings and candle flames and the sweet cadences of Abby’s singing. Time works so hard for us, Daniel told me once. I hope those last few minutes worked like hell for her. I hope in that half hour she lived all her million lives.

We didn't even know his name when we started working on him. Once we got the name, I said to Hasbro 'you guys know Sky Lynx is an Autobot, right?' I really wanted the animal aspect to come out. That's why I kept the animal face around his robot face, and claws on the hands and legs. -Walter Gatus

Of all the species in this chapter, the lynx is the one which could be introduced most easily. It would contribute markedly to ecosystem functions by hunting and disturbing roe deer, as well as acting as a potential apex predator on middle-guild mammal predators such as fox, badger and marten, which are now very common. It would also restore an iconic and charismatic large cat, the size of a small labrador dog, to its former Scottish range, which could bring real ecotourism benefits. The proposal has been talked about since the early 1990s - over the years, the feasibility research on the species has been of the highest standard - and it's a disgrace to UK wildlife conservation that the species is still absent.
