To celebrate #InternationalLynxDay, we're doing a #throwback to January 2025, when we welcomed Freddie to #Shepreth Wildlife Park after the closure of his previous home due to serious welfare concerns. In case you missed it, listen to SWP director Rebecca Willers on: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

It’s #InternationalLynxDay! 🐾 #Eurasian #lynx once roamed Europe, but hunting and habitat loss reduced them. Since the 70s, #reintroduction efforts have boosted the population to 9,000. As top #predators, they control prey like deer, supporting healthy forests by preventing too much grazing.

Shepreth Wildlife Park are proud to support the #Defra new progressive Zoo Standards coming soon. biaza.org.uk/news/detail/...
