They bears live togetherw ith lynx, but a few years ago, a bear killed one lynx, which was not careful...

Wow - brown bears and lynx - now that is a unique mix! Looks like a good exhibit.

Looks like a great exhibit, l wonder how much enrichment the keepers have time to provide other than the Lynx?

Is there a Lynx still in this enclosure?

Appears quite small

I see in the other picture posted that the moat in front had water. But here it seems to be dry.

You can see a bear (for scale) next to the wall in this shot:

The exhibit's actually quite a decent size (assuming it's not been made smaller since my visit!).

I wonder that there was or are Lynx' in this exhibit too because the moat is very small. It seems to be easy that a Lynx can jump over and escape. Also, at the date of my visit in Salzburg Zoo in 2007, I saw no Lynx in this exhibit and there was also no such sign.

The moat is big enough and the enclosure is quite spacious, bigger than it appears on the photo. In 2005 I saw lynx, bear and a wolverine in this enclosure.
