Winter penetration and movements of a male lynx

In winter seasons since 1971 till 1979 traces of a male lynx passing through the forest adjacent to the forester's lodge, the ploughland, and the yard of the lodge were noted. In 1976, lynx trails were followed for 67 days. Between the 10th of January and the 18th of March the lynx passed near the forester's lodge 17 times. Most often the animal returned after 24 to 72 hours. Three times the animal absent for a longer period - from 5 to 17 days.
