Lynx siblings from Kent on 'holiday' in Devon

Two lynx cats are living temporarily at Dartmoor Zoo while their habitat in Kent is refurbished.

Brother and sister Flossie and Torridon arrived at the zoo in Devon on 11 April.

The pair are Northern lynx, a subspecies of Eurasian lynx, and there is no specific date yet for their return to Wildwood Trust in Kent.

Sally Holt, head of carnivores and small mammals at Wildwood, said the team were building a "significantly larger and more complex habitat" for the siblings.

Dartmoor Zoo said Flossie and Torridon have adjusted to their new environment.

A spokesperson said guests should remain calm in the area where they are living whilst they become more confident.

The zoo's chief executive officer David Gibson said: "I don't doubt the two will love their extended holiday in Devon.

"Dartmoor Zoo has a long track record of caring for lynx within our collection and our keepers are very much looking to increase their knowledge of this iconic species."
