Gordon Buchanan helps rehabilitate captive lynx back to the Russian wilderness.

Gordon Buchanan is in Russia on an emotional journey rehabilitating captive lynx back to the wild. Can lynx cats locked away in small cages be returned to the wilderness?

Gordon Buchanan joins pioneering biologist Dr Victor Lukarevskiy in snowy Russia to attempt to rehabilitate two pairs of lynx held captive for years.

In the wild, lynx are athletic predators, but they are shy, elusive and seldom seen. Two of these lynx, Koshka and Miass, were born in the wild but have been locked in tiny steel cages for years by a fur trapper and their kittens taken from them and sold. Bryansk and Dasha are rescued from the pet trade and have never seen the wilderness. Dr Lukarevskiy wants to give these beautiful lynx a new life in the wild. Will these lynx have the instincts needed to survive in the wild? After years in human captivity, will they make it?
