Two face charges after exotic animal dies

MIAMI (WSVN) -- A Siberian Lynx seized from a home in Southwest Ranches has died.

Wildlife services said the 65-pound cat was discovered extremely sick and living in poor conditions.

They took it to a exotic animal care facility, but it was unable to recover from extensive damage to its internal organs.

The property owner and the wildlife dealer who traded the cat to the residence are both facing charges.
