Hi there, I decided to rewrite the description after seeing so many comments on this video, here it goes. This video is about a small eurasian lynx kitten that was rescued from nature; it was apparent that it would die without proper care. Once captured, it was taken care during the worst winter time. Isolation was in place to keep her wild and avoid becoming too friendly with people. The place video is actually quite big, there are two-room plus small wooden hut (the one where she is sitting in the video) to act as a hiding place. The video shows room dark as it was shot during night time; we decided to make it so to avoid being seen (and obviously attacked..) by her. A word about equipment: I shot this video with old-school SOny DCR-PC1000e camcorder with Century Optics "Baby Death" 0.3 wide adapter. The camera light is specially constructed from CCFL-tubes to suite this particular 180-degree wide angle and animals - it is built to have both wide spread and low light intensity to allow shooting animals. I hope you enjoy this video. A word about wildlife in Finland: It is illegal to keep wild animals in captivity here as pets. The animal pictured here was in captivity to keep her alive. She was released back to nature soon after shooting the video. The people working with her are trained professionals that have substantial experience on working with wildlife. I am sorry to say I am not one of them, merely I am just a video guy.
