Can this lynx born in a zoo learn to live in the wild?
A lynx born in a zoo in Cornwall is being considered for release into the wild in Germany's Black Forest due to a shortage of female lynxes in the European breeding program. The lynx will undergo monitoring to assess its survival skills and ability to adapt to life in the wild. Efforts are being made to reintroduce lynx to increase genetic diversity and control deer populations, but the lynx' ability to coexist without seeking human interaction will be a key factor in its potential release.
