Authorities are investigating the suspected illegal release of two lynx in the Cairngorms National Park, urging the public to stay safe.
Kingussie: So, it turns out there are two lynx wandering around the UK countryside after someone might have let them loose illegally. The Cairngorms National Park Authority got the word out on Wednesday evening that these big cats are on the loose.
They’re working with Police Scotland to figure out what happened. The good news is that these lynx are pretty shy, so they’re not likely to bother anyone. A spokesperson from the park said they’re really concerned about the welfare of the lynx and don’t support this kind of thing at all.
If you happen to see a lynx, they’re asking you to keep your distance. They’re not dangerous, but it’s best not to approach them. The park authority is keeping quiet for now while the police look into it.
Highland Wildlife Park is also helping out with the search. They want to make sure everyone stays safe and that the lynx are found. A spokesperson mentioned that even though these lynx aren’t from their park, they’re doing everything they can to help retrieve them safely.
Police Scotland is on the case and has asked for the public’s help. They’ve spotted the lynx in the Drumguish area near Kingussie. If you see them, don’t go near; just call the police at 101 and give them the incident number.
