Photos published

A few days back I remembered that I had submitted two of my photos for some Turkish publication on wildlife awareness a loooong time ago.. so today I decided to write to them to find out what happened and guess what - they used it!!! .... : )

And this is what it looks like ...
(the cover of the book)

And here's the pages with my photos ...
The photos are of a Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx) which is quiet rare in the wild.. both of my photos are of captive individuals- the portrait photo was clicked at Moscow Zoo and the second one was at Skansen island in Stockholm.

The book was made to help create awareness of some rare species that was thought to still exist in some part of Turkey but there was no sightings in a loong time so they feared that it could have gone extinct locally. However seen the publication of the book the researchers of the book succeeded in getting camera trap pictures of some real wild Turkish lynx.
