Eurasian Lynx

Han-Sur-Lesse Biological Reserve, Belgium (2015).
My best chnace for the moment to see a lynx. These also own a large piece of territory in the reserve and they were at quite a distance from the observation posts. Luckily I spotted this one which was just waking up from a nap.

  Hi Ferdy! well, now you know about Han-Sur-Lesse. Is not the same as seeing them in the wild, but I am happy the ones there have such a large territory and indeed is lucky to see them there too :-) Posted 8 years ago

    From what I hear, Germany also still has a few forests where there's a chance of seeing one. Posted 8 years ago

I find it so sad that they are all disappearing so quickly. I would absolutely love to see one and photograph it. Posted 8 years ago

The Eurasian lynx

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.
