| Down to the Caspian Sea: an unexpected occurrence of the Eurasian lynx in northern Iran | |
| 2022 Cat News (75): 36-37 | |
We report a Eurasian lynx_ Lynx lynx_ occurrence record from a remnant Hyrcanian forest patch next to the Caspian Sea in Iran. The female lynx was illegally killed near a hotel within a Caspian Sea resort in Namakabrud District, one of Iran's most visited touristic destinations, which is surrounded by a densely populated rural-urban fringe.We emphasize the importance of this record in relation to lynx plasticity and risk taking in using human-dominated landscapes. |
