Evidences for the Lynx recovery in Bulgaria: the Lynx discovered in Western Rhodopes
Journal Title: ZooNotes - Year 2015, Vol 73, Issue 0
Abstract
On photographs taken by a camera trap in the region of Yagodina village, Western Rhodopes, (Bulgaria) the presence of the Eurasian Lynx Lynx lynx L. has been registered in the summer of 2014. This is the most reliable to date argument for the presence in Rhodope mountains of this critically endangered species in Bulgaria and for its gradual dispersal from the western mountainous border region of Bulgaria to more appropriate country habitats inland.
