If it became extinct would it then be the missing lynx?

Well I'm pleased about that Lori, so long as people KNOW it's not dangerous and therefore leave it alone and don't shoot on sight, as often seems to be the case with perceived danger. Shoot first and express regret later. >:(
Can't guarantee that, unfortunately, Lesley... there are just as many idiots here as anywhere else.

Maggi's purrfectly safe with the following as they don't have more (or fewer) than 4 legs and are not hairy. These are some year old Auckland green geckos (one is yellow) Naultinus elegans I got last week.

These are really beautiful Anthony. I'm pleased you're able to keep them and they seem to be enjoying their new home.

I'd like to see these in the wild and photograph them, but the Naultinus grayi in another cage are virtually invisible on the Coprosma sp. planted in the cage, so spotting them must be a skill! 8)
