Endangered Caucasian lynx walks 2200 km in one year, GPS shows

by Duvar English staff

An endangered Caucasian lynx found in Turkey and named “Ulu” (“Great” in English) walked 2,200 kilometers in a year using an area of 1600 square kilometers, according to satellite data. Accordingly, researchers attached a GPS to the animal caught in Sarıkamış forests in Turkey's eastern province of Kars on June 21, 2022 within the scope of the "Eastern Anatolia Wildlife Research and Protection" project carried out by KuzeyDoğa Association with the permission of the General Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks affiliated to the Agriculture and Forestry Miinistry. KuzeyDoğa Association Science Coordinator Emrah Çoban said that they attach a GPS to a lynx every year. “The lynx, which we named Ulu, has used an area of 1600 square kilometers until today, walking 2,200 kilometers. It equates to a distance between Kars and Romania, and it's tremendous,” Çoban said according to reporting by Anadolu Agency. Emphasizing that the lynx can move so much in such a small area in one year, Çoban said, “There is not enough information yet in the research of large predatory carnivores in Turkey and we do not know much about animals. As we research here, we learn more. We have caught both Eurasian and Caucasian lynx in our work since 2013.”

Caucasian lynx filmed in eastern Turkey (Kars)

A Caucasian lynx, which is an endangered species, was spotted in the Scots pine forests in the eastern province of Kars’ Sarıkamış district on Dec. 7.

Called “the ghost of the forest” because it hunts at night and rests during the day, the journey of the Caucasian lynx along the snow-covered terrain of the Scots pine forests, which are home to several wild animals, was filmed by the state-run Anadolu Agency. Emrah Çoban, a science coordinator at the Kuzeydoğa Association, said that as part of the Northeast Anatolia’s Biodiversity Conservation Project, studies have been ongoing on Caucasian lynxes. “Lynxes are very sensitive animals and are known as the ghosts of the forest. They can’t be observed during the day because they hunt at night and rest during the day. They become more visible in their breeding time in winter,” Çoban said, adding that the latest monitoring of the lynx spotted coincided with the mating season.

Stating that they caught 15 lynxes in seven years in the Sarıkamış district, he said: “Some of the lynxes we track by satellite transmitter are females. Especially in this season, we try to observe them by tracking their footprints in the snow and get closer to them with the signals received from the satellite.”

The Sarıkamış district is a very important place in Turkey for lynxes as its forests are a natural habitat of both Eurasian and Caucasian lynxes, Çoban noted.

“We cannot say anything about the population of lynxes in Sarıkamış because we are at the beginning stage of the study,” he added.
