Sikkim records first-ever camera sighting of rare Eurasian lynx
For the first time, the elusive Eurasian lynx has been caught on camera in Sikkim. This medium-sized wild cat was spotted by a camera trap in January 2026, situated at an elevation of 5,250 metres on the Tso Lhamo plateau within the Mangan district. This event represents only the second time the species has been officially documented through photography in the Eastern Himalayas, following a previous sighting in Arunachal Pradesh.
