Lynx In A Cage
Jan 19, 2008 Nature
Enough with Liepāja, here one more photo from Cīruļi Zoo.
Some time ago Latvia had a discussion about the status of this cat above with European Union. They wanted to forbid the hunting of lynxes, but we have them in our forests just enough to allow some control. This season it is allowed to shoot 94 of them.

This weekend I went on a two day trip to the Liepāja city in western Latvia with my family. On our way there we stopped at Riga’s Zoo affiliate Cīruļi. The weather was close to terrible - minus 10 Celsius and extremely windy, but we were lucky - we saw wolves, the only animals we didn’t see when visited this place some three years ago.
More pictures of animals and pictures from Liepāja later next week.
