Zoo to house orphaned lynxes

The zoo, La Garenne in Vaud, is due to take in some orphaned lynxes – but the public will never see them.

The animals need care so they can be released into the wild. They’ll be kept away from humans as much a possible so they don’t get too accustomed. 

There are only a few centres in Europe that cater for orphaned lynxes. 

A new enclosure, away from the public gaze, will be opened.

When the animals are released, they’ll be monitored and given some help. 

Game keepers will deliver a freshly killed deer for them every so often for a few weeks.
