Home‐range size of Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx was studied in two different mountain ranges of the Polish Carpathians during 1999‐2004. We live‐trapped and radio‐collared five adult lynx (two males and three females). One female was probably killed only 10 days after being radio‐collared. Home‐range size of radio‐collared individuals calculated for the whole period of radio‐tracking (MCP with 100% observations) was 164 km 2 for male M1 from the Beskid Sądecki Mountains, and it was 124 and 190 km 2 , respectively, for the two females F1 and F2 and 199 km 2 for male M2 in the Bieszczady Mountains.
