This fight between adult male lynx (Kazimir) and adult male wolf happened on 13th March 2017, so today it's 4 years when these pictures were captured.
The encounter lasted 48 sec only. When the lynx

male came to his usual place for marking and grooming, he noticed a wolf running his own direction. Having stayed in aggressive poses for about 30 seconds they attacked each other and fought for just a few seconds. The wolf managed to escape after being thrown on his back, while the lynx as the winner stayed for his marking job. The same wolf looking still straggly came back to the place 6 minutes after the lynx had left. It was the last time the wolf showed up in front of our camera traps. The most likely he died afterwards from the wounds. After the fight with the wolf, the lynx came back here the same day in the evening to mark again and groom. He stayed there for a bit more than half an hour.
