Eurasian lynx - Lynx lynx
The photo was taken at the Sofia Zoo.
He was so sad, he was just looking at a point somewhere in the distance and not paying any attention to what was happening around him!
I don’t like to photograph animals in zoos, but this beautiful animal was once part of the nature of our territory. Sadly, these animals disappeared from Bulgaria by the end of the last century, only rare individual observations are recorded in Western Balkan Mountains. Obviously, these lynxes are part of the population that formed in the last 20-25 years in Eastern Serbia by animals that settled on their own from the Carpathian Mountains, numbering about 30 individuals.
The Eurasian lynx is a medium-sized cat native to European and Siberian forests, South Asia and East Asia. It is also known as the European lynx, common lynx, the northern lynx, and the Siberian or Russian lynx. While its conservation status has been classified as "Least Concern", populations of Eurasian lynx have been reduced or extirpated from western Europe, where it is now being reintroduced.
