Following the death of previous male, Luchs, from a disease. Eros is Luchs's younger brother.
Several lynxes born at Sainte Croix died from the same disease... Both kittens from the 2016 litter are dead now, and only 1 out of 3 survived in 2020.
 
This zoo used to specialise in the animals of France (inc French Guiana), seems it's broadening its collection now.
