| Une tentative de r‚introduction du lynx dans le parc national du Grand Paradis An attempt to reintrduce the Lynx in the National Park of the Gran Paradiso (Italy) Ein Versuch der Reintroduktion des Luchses in den Nationalpark "Gran Paradiso" (Italien) | |
| 1979 Conference Proceeding | |
In 1975 two male Lynxes, which came from the Ostrava Zoo and had been fitted with radio-collars, were released in the Val Savaranche in the National Park of the Gran Paradiso. During one month they were followed every day by radio tracking, which revealed their activities by night. Then the animals got out of sight, which suggested they went on a long distance migration. One of the two Lynxes, however, was found 9 months later 90 km from the spot where it had been released. A large number of animals with a balanced sex ratio, which have been kept in quarantine in special enclosures before being released, should permit a successful reestablishment of the Lynx in its former territory. |
