Abstract

U Hrvatskoj žive 3 velike zvijeri, a jedna od njih je euroazijski ris (Lynx lynx). Postoje 4 živuće
vrste risa: euroazijski ris, iberijski ris, kanadski ris i crveni ris. Euroazijski ris je najveći od svih
njih. Na području Hrvatske glavni plijen su mu parnoprstaši, a najviše jelen i srna. Gdje nema
jelena i srne, hrani se manjim životinjama i pticama. Euroazijskog risa u Hrvatskoj pronalazimo na
području Dinarida. Ris voli samački život, a za vrijeme parenja mužjaci pronalaze ženke. Čovjek
uvelike utječe na prirodu i životinje svojim lovom i izgradnjom prometnica, pa tako utječe i na risa.
Euroazijski ris je već jednom izumro na našem području i zbog toga je došlo 1973. godine do
reintrodukcije risa na ovo područje. Populacija je rasla, no s vremenom je taj rast počeo stagnirati
i sada je ta populacija ponovno podložna izumiranju. Kako ne bi došlo do novog izumiranja
potrebno je uvesti nove jedinke u populaciju kako bi se povećala genetska raznolikost populacije.
O tome se brine međunarodni projekt LIFE Lynx koji djeluje na području Hrvatske, Slovenije i
drugih zemalja.

Abstract (english)

There are 3 large carnivours living in Croatia, and one of them is the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx).
There are 4 living species of lynx: the Eurasian lynx, the Iberian lynx, the Canadian lynx and the
Red lynx. The Eurasian lynx is the largest of them all. In the Croatian territory, its main prey is
pair-toed deer; mostly deer and roe deer. When the food is not deer or roe deer, then it feeds on
smaller animals and birds. In Croatia, the Eurasian lynx is found in the area of the Dinarides. In
addition, the lynx likes a solitary life, and just during mating males are finding females. Man has a
great effect on nature and animals with his hunting and construction of roads, and thus also affects
the lynx. The Eurasian lynx has already died out in our area once, and because of this, the lynx was
reintroduced to this area in 1973. The population grew, but over time this growth began to stagnate
and now this population is once again subject to extinction. In order to prevent another extinction,
it is necessary to introduce new individuals into the population to increase the genetic diversity of
the population. This is taken care of by the LIFE Lynx international project, which operates in
Croatia, Slovenia and other countries.
