Expert: Released lynx cat is doing well. Up to ten lynxes, primarily females, are to be released in the Black Forest over the next four years.
Lynxes pose no threat to humans. As the largest wild cat species, the lynx was widespread in Europe more than 200 years ago. But as a predator of farm animals he was targeted. In addition, the loss of habitat contributed to the animals disappearing from the forests. At least two and up to five Kuders currently live in Baden-Württemberg.
