In Leningrad (St Petersburg) Zoo, the oldest zoo in Russia, an
European Lynx had a frequent visitor who befriended the big wild cat and
now they are practically living together. This visitor is a calico cat
who has bonded with the Lynx ever since the day she entered the
enclosure.
According to the local people, the calico was homeless
and happened to find food in the lynx’s enclosure. The lynx did not
reject her, rather she became her surrogate mother. It seems as if the
calico needs the lynx as much as she needs the little cat. They spend
every day together and never leave sight of each other.
