Forest animals exploring the enclosure in Loški Potok

Posted - Aug 14, 2019


More than three months have passed since our first translocated lynx Goru was released from quarantine enclosure in Loški Potok. In case Goru would have returned back, we left the doors of the enclosure open and inside the remains of a roe deer, his last meal before the release. Goru hasn’t returned and is successfully catching his own prey in the wild. But other forest animals have come to check the enclosure and it’s surroundings. We’ve managed to capture some of them on our camera traps.
