A year later…she is back!

This time with 3 amazingly sweet playful kittens!

I knew she’d come back where she raised successfully her first 2 cubs!

I call this happy playful mother…Gioia

The return of the #Lynx is a most inspiring European #rewilding success

First #Emys #turtle hatchlings of the year in the captive facility providing individuals for #reintroduction in Germany. Eggs are incubated 30°C for promoting females since sex determination is temperature dependent in Emys.
