The Lynxes reintroduced in Slovenia in March 1973 were animals captured in Czechoslovakia, which had been kept in the Ostrava Zoo. Then they were detained in quarantine and placed by pairs into latticed boxes set up on the very spot where the release was to take place. Every evening they were fed various carcasses from dead game or domestic animals, about 2 kg per day. The release took place 46 days later. Tracking of the animals was done by organizing a network for the collection of data, mainly with the help of hunters and foresters. These surveys thus enabled one to follow the extension of the area of distribution from the site of release, and to get an idea of the annual reproduction and food supplies. |
