          By what? There’s no predator in that area that would hunt a lynx. It’d have to wander off very far to find one of the few wolf packs in the country.

            Wolves do not hunt lynx. Nothing really does unless they are young or sick.

            However, they are very much released close to wolf territory:

            I think the experts are a better judge of this than you are. And if you want to be that negative about a positive story, maybe go to a different community.

      Did you even read the article? He was bred in captivity and was going to be used as part of a breeding program to enhance the numbers of this species which is endangered in Germany. Maybe don’t release them before breeding unless they are better suited to being immediately released to the wild like this young Chapo is.

      Breeding and release programs for endangered wildlife are good things.
