Episode 2
Gordon returns to Russia on an emotional journey rehabbing lynx back to the wild. With the birth of two kittens, he has got his hands full training them for life in the wilderness.
Gordon Buchanan returns to Russia to help pioneering big cat biologist Dr Victor Lukarevski prepare to rehabilitate lynx for release back in the wild.
The project is going well and the cats are getting stronger, but it is still an uphill struggle to get them ready. One pair, Miass and Koshka, surprised Victor by giving birth to two kittens. Now, with young ones Ivan and Aliona to care for, it is a race against time to get these new parents and their kittens ready for release.
Gordon puts young male Bryansk through his paces to try to bring him up to speed. Bryansk was a house pet and doesn鈥檛 know how to catch his own food.
It is an emotional journey taking these beautiful cats back to nature - they were born to be free.
