A beautiful view in the Tatras. This individual does not appear here often
The recording from an extraordinary meeting with Rysa was posted by the Polish profile of the National Geographic magazine.
Rysia can be found in just a few regions of Poland. A distinction is made between the Carpathian features that live in the mountains and in the foothills and the so -called Lowland lynxes that inhabit the north-eastern part of the country. In the second place, they were not very little -ok. 40 individuals.
The population of Rysi decreases, because they are an extremely demanding species -to be able to lead a peaceful life, they need extensive and hard to reach forest areas in which they will be able to rest. Meanwhile, in Europe, the population of these animals began to fall violently in the first half of the 20th century.
The reason was, among others Destroying forests, but also building a dense road network that crosses forests, which makes the life of a lynx more and more difficult.
Hunting for this species was also significant. In Poland, Rysie was exterminated west of the Vistula in the 18th century.
Rysie in the Tatra Mountains. Such meetings may not be safe
Until the beginning of the 20th century, it was recognized that the lynx from the Tatra Mountains was completely held -Tatra portal. Only after 1945, when these areas were protected, the animals returned.
Currently, it is maintained that there are only a few individuals on both the Polish and Slovak side. Their sight is rare not only because of the low number in the Tatras, but also their life mode –These animals are active mainly at night. Kocice usually give birth in May or June and this can be found most often during the day they look after the young. With such meetings, it’s definitely better to be careful.
