Local NGO Fundatia Conservation Carpathia has captured on camera rare images of a lynx feeding on its kill in a forest of the Southern Carpathians in Romania.
Capturing such an amazing wildlife scene on camera is quite rare in Romania as the lynx is a very discreet carnivore, rarely seen by people. The imagines were captured by one of the NGO’s monitoring cameras installed in the woods.

About 1,300 lynxes are estimated to live in Romania’s forests.
