Progressing more and more human intervention in nature, the construction of new roads, deforestation and wasteful practice of hunting clubs, makes that in Poland we have only 200 of them. If we continue to "stay the course" this species in our country will not survive. Therefore, with the advent of another Lynx in our center we feel on a huge responsibility and a kind of burden. Maybe this is the subject, which will give a rise to a new generation. May have strong genes, not found in other degenerate by life in the isolated enclaves individuals? We know that with the death of each of them something is irrevocably lost. We hope that attempts to rentroductions lynxes from other countries fail. That road safety will be one of the best in Europe and another lynxes will not die pointlessly under the wheels of cars. But we are not of thinking, we know our place in line. We stand on guard and try to fix what we destroyed as a society. We try as best to prepare for the next meeting with wounded lynx.

You see a wounded Lynx - what to do?

Quickly notify the emergency services. Best to call the police. Catching the lynx is not easy. The animal is dangerous and can painfully bite and scratch, so do not try to do anything alone. In 90% of cases it is necessary to use specialized pneumatic weapon with anesthetics. After anesthesia, the animal must be enclosed in a large container or wooden crate with adequate ventilation. Should be ensured that lynx can not see, scratch through the bars or get out.It is not known how far is the nearest center.It is possible that a measure will stop working during a driving.

Treatment

Most of accidents where Lynxes are wounded are caused by cars. Damage and way of treatment is not much different from how it goes with their smaller brothers cats. Experienced veterinary clinic should not have any major problems. However, there is a greater risk of losing life or health of clinic personnel. During the treatment the animal may wake up. Dressings changes, health checks, the administration of drugs are more difficult. In the case of juveniles it may be necessary to use an incubator, ensuring the proper temperature and humidity.

Rehabilitation

While lynx staying at the resort we have to remember about his temper. In addition to securing the safety of operating personnel and preventing escape in case of recovery we need to ensure of mental comfort of the animal. As one of the loners, lynx should have few barriers installed in the room, behind which can hide. This prevents the formation of fixed incorrect behavior (stereotypies) and eliminating the stress of staying in captivity. In general, all kinds of platforms, overhead cover to enter the amount enhance lynx well-being. Protected against undermine the substrate, usually made ​​of concrete must be lined with straw, sawdust or sand. The room temperature is dependent on the state of health. Very sick or young animals should be heated. In good health of patient it is enough that catwalk exit is sheltered from the wind and partly covered to protect against rain and sun.

Feeding

Lynxes are strictly carnivorous. Their diet is mainly meat, preferably in the most natural form - rabbits, rats, venison, chickens. Young, which are less than 2 months are fed with milk replacers for cats. Note, however, that individual may not receive food for their survival, stress and deviation from the menu at the resort to what he ate in the wild. It is very important not allow animal to geting tamed during a feeding. In the case of adult animals - leave food in the distance and avoid contact, if the young – do not treat them like little kittens. It is harm to them then. These animals, which have imprinting will never return on freedom.
