Excitement about a lynx, which is for nine months with a transmitter collar in and around the Limestone Alps National Park on the road, there are in Upper Austria.

The animal will now be captured, in order to officially change the battery in the transmitter. National Park Chef Erich Mayrhofer, however, fears that the future of Pinselohrs was uncertain.

The lynx was captured as a pup and stations were provided with a. "Of course he has his nonsense, he is still young," said Mayrhofer, but he is doing something under appropriate conditions. In Hinterstoder the cat is said to have attempted to ways to steal a hunter, a bullet calf, and have applied it huntsman against him. As I described Mayrhofer, the person want to drive the Lynx with snowballs. That was not succeeded. Then he had gone to the police, who had taken up the case.

Well Mayrhofer fears that this week is to go out a notice for the capture of the animal. But there was still no clarity on when and where it would again be suspended. He fears that the lynx will spend a long time to be in a zoo. This would lead to a creeping but domestication, the cat could lose the fear of the people more and more.

At the Department of Agriculture and forestry in the Government of Upper Austria said to the trapping of lynx in principle, to serve Neubesenderung. Therefore, the animal was initially housed in an enclosure. There, it will then remain, however, until it is clear what is going on. In any event, would national park and hunters involved in the decision, promised to the Authority.
