BUND Thuringia and WWF report success: Lynx cubs in the Thuringian Forest
Great joy for the team behind the «Lynx Thuringia» project! In the Thuringian Forest, not far from Sachsenbrunn (Hildburghausen district), a female lynx with two cubs was captured on camera using a wildlife camera. A female lynx with cubs had already been observed in the area last year. This was the first lynx offspring in the Thuringian Forest in more than 150 years.
