Photography tips:
Approach with great discretion, as the Eurasian Lynx is a rather elusive animal that prefers to avoid humans. Use a telephoto lens to capture images without disturbing the animal.
Photograph early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when the light is soft and the animal is more active, particularly when searching for food.
Be prepared to wait: The Eurasian Lynx spends a lot of time hunting or resting in wooded areas. Be patient to capture a natural moment.
Respect its space: Do not attempt to follow the lynx or get too close, especially when it is feeding or resting, so as not to disturb its natural behavior.
The Eurasian Lynx is a vulnerable species, mainly threatened by habitat loss and conflicts with humans. It is essential to respect its territory and avoid disturbing its hunting or breeding sites. Follow local conservation regulations to protect this majestic species.
