"A lynx born in a zoo in Cornwall could become the first UK zoo-born cat to be
successfully released into the wild.

Animals born and raised in zoos are rarely considered for release because they
either don't have the survival skills or have become too used to human
interaction.

But a shortage of female lynxes in the European breeding programme led to the
unusual request being made for the cat from Newquay Zoo.

It has been moved to Germany's Black Forest where it will spend the next few
months being monitored in an enclosure to see if it's up to the challenge."
