| Meet our charges – here are OLZ and LIRA!
Since 2017, through virtual adoption, we have acted as guardian of a lynx at Gdańsk Zoo. Originally this was Olz, a representative of the Eurasian lynx. Genetic tests carried out confirmed that our lynx is a pure „lowland lynx” specimen! Not many of these remain, either in zoos or in the wild! Thanks to this, Gdańsk Zoo notified the international species coordinator of its intention to join the protective breeding programme and its readiness to accept a female for breeding. In 2023, Lira arrived (from Vienna Zoo). From that moment, Lira and Olz became a pair – also in terms of subspecies purity. We hope they will soon have offspring ? We encourage you to come and visit our lovely charges! |
