Three rescued lynx settle into new home at Highland Wildlife Park. Three juvenile lynx abandoned in the Cairngorms National Park in January have moved to their new home at Highland Wildlife Park, just a few miles from where they were found.

Rescued by experts from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), the trio were cared for at the wildlife conservation charity’s Edinburgh Zoo while they underwent quarantine.
RZSS chief executive David Field said, “We are very pleased to welcome the lynx to Highland Wildlife Park and grateful to our members and everyone who made a donation to help us care for these wonderful cats.
“The lynx were clearly habituated to humans and would most likely have died if they hadn’t been rescued as they would not have been able to find food for themselves.
“Caring for these cats at Highland Wildlife Park will help raise awareness of this incredible species and support discussions about how to reintroduce wildlife in Scotland responsibly.
