A lynx captured in the Cairngorms National Park on Friday has died overnight, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) has confirmed. The wild cat was one of four, released illegally, which were caught near Kingussie in the Highlands in recent days. The animals were humanely captured in pairs in the Dell of Killiehuntly area and taken to the Highland Wildlife Park. The RZSS said they would have been under great stress after being abandoned in a new and "extremely harsh" environment.
