Captured Highland lynx waiting for their new home
Three female lynx that were illegally released in the Cairngorms are looking for a new home after completing 30 days quarantine at Edinburgh Zoo.
The wild cats were spotted in the national park in early January, sparking a search before they were captured near Kingussie, south of Aviemore.
A fourth male lynx, died after being captured, and the three females are being cared for at Royal Zoological Society of Scotland's (RZSS) Edinburgh Zoo.
The felines, all thought to be less than a year old, have been temporarily named A, B and C and RZSS said the challenge was now to find them a "forever home".
