Скачать или смотреть Bear chases Eurasian lynx from deer carcass in Slovenia

Animal carcasses and kill sites are the place of frequent encounters among predators. In such situations usually a larger species wins and this was the case also here, where a bear steals a roe deer carcass from radio-collared female Eurasian lynx. In northern Dinaric mountains of Slovenia and Croatia such interactions (also known as kleptoparasitism) are very frequent. Lynx respond to this losses by increasing the number of deer they kill and in this way compensate for part of the losses.

The female lynx was collared in Croatia as part of the Carnivora Dinarica project (www.carnivoradinarica.eu) and is monitored in Slovenia as part of the LIFE Lynx project (www.lifelynx.eu).
