A trail camera has captured a striking image of a rare Eurasian lynx moving across the high-altitude Himalayas – marking the first confirmed photographic record of the species in Sikkim, India. The image of the elusive wild cat was shot on camera traps set up by the Sikkim Forest Department and WWF-India. According to a press release, the trail camera image of the Eurasian lynx was captured as part of a long-term program monitoring snow leopards and other wildlife in the region led by the Sikkim Forest Department and WWF-India. The Eurasian lynx is a medium-sized wild cat found across parts of Europe and Asia. In India, the species is mainly associated with high-altitude areas of the Himalayas, where its remote and rugged habitat makes it difficult to observe.
