The Thuringian lynxes are reproducing. For the second time this year, offspring have now been discovered, according to the Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz (BUND). A wildlife camera recorded a female lynx with cubs near Ilmenau. The mother probably had two cubs.
At the end of July, a female lynx with two cubs had already been photographed by wildlife cameras from the "Lynx Thuringia" project near Sachsenbrunn (Eisfeld). Due to the large distance between the two detections, the experts assume that they are two different mothers.
