Relief in zoo: Lynx is found

gelsenkirchen - After five days of tension are relieved met the staff of the zoo Gelsenkirchen. The escaped lynx Findus has been found. The predator with the plume ears steps Saturday after a week, perhaps in Limburg, reunited with his spouse Clara. 'He is unharmed,' reported his carers on Facebook.

The enterprising Findus could take the slats saunter past week because the moat surrounding his stay was frozen. The feline should not usually have a lot of water, but ice gave him an idea. Findus fled into a nearby forest and held on despite a massive search for days hiding.

An observant resident spotted the animal, which is not endangered by his shyness to humans, Friday and alerted the police. He also went with the summoned specialists from the zoo to designate the place. Findus wandered around and there was prudence by the veterinarian with a tranquilizer dart knocked out and brought back to his loft. 'He's a bit nervous but it will stop by itself. In a week, visitors can see him again. '
