Escaped lynx taunts zoo staff trying to recapture her by posing next to a trap and then fleeing
The Eurasian big cat called Lillith stared at the secret camera next to a cage, but became suspicious and disappeared into darkness
AN escaped lynx appeared to taunt zoo bosses by posing next to a trap before refusing to take the bait and fleeing.
The Eurasian lynx called Lillith stared at the secret camera next to a cage, but became suspicious and disappeared into darkness.
Wildlife photographer Thomas Martin said: “It looks as though the lynx might as well be giving them the middle finger by staring at the camera.
“The camera would have been activated by a motion sensor and then flashed right at it. It may have scared the lynx away.”
The zoo has been closed so staff can focus on catching Lillith.
Owner Tracy Tweedy, 46, insisted they were getting closer to finding her.
Police warned the lynx could become aggressive if it is cornered.
