Lynx settles in at new home in Berkshire
A new lynx has arrived at Beale Wildlife Park.
Finn is a 15 month old Carpathian lynx, a subspecies of the European lynx coming from the Carpathian basin (Romania, Slovakia and Hungary).
Curator Andrew Nicholls says:
“He seems inquisitive and also very laid back. He is a young adolescent and we hope in time to find him a mate.”
His diet consists of a variety of natural meat and fish and he is beginning to get to know his animal keepers who are learning all about his personality.
Finn has the whole of the winter to get used to his new surroundings before the Park opens to visitors again on 8th February 2020.
His natural habitat is across northern Europe so the temperatures in West Berkshire winter will not faze him at all.
