New lynx arriving from Romania to Croatia

Posted - Mar 2, 2020


The lynx caught in Romania is soon to be translocated to Croatia. We are waiting for the results for rabies and then the lynx will be ready for transport.

Until then we are sharing some recent pictures of the lynx Alojzije! He got his name after the Croatian researcher Alojzije Frković dipl. ing. of forestry. Alojzije was an expert who influenced hunting in Croatia. He was also the main researcher for the lynx population in Croatia after the 1973 reintroduction of lynx in the Dinarics.  

We are very proud and happy to be able to pay tribute to mister Frković with the support of our LCG Gorski Kotar who suggested this name for the lynx!
