At an abandoned farm,
kittens play with the
remains of a rabbit while
their mother, Odrina
(at far right), watches.
Scientists name most of
the babies after Span-
ish nature and folklore.
Odrina—whose name
refers to a traditional
leather bag that holds
wine or oil—was born
here in 2017 and has
returned to raise her
own kittens, an example
of the species’ ability
to capitalize on human-
made environments.
