On Friday, April 19th, our project team from Department of Biology (UL) successfully captured an adult female lynx from remnant Dinaric population in Slovenia. The female, named Teja, was equipped with GPS radio collar in a mountain area Mala gora, where she had been previously recorded on photo trap about month ago. In the coming year, we will be able to closely monitor the female’s movement by which she will also reveal whether she will have cubs and how successful will be their breeding.
