The Eurasian lynx was close to extinction in Scandinavia in the 1930s. Since the 1950s, the population slowly recovered and forms three subpopulations in northern, central and southern Scandinavia. In Norway, the Eurasian lynx was subjected to an official bounty between 1846 and 1980 and could be hunted without license. In 1994, a compensation scheme for livestock killed by lynx was introduced to save the animal from extinction. #wildlife #myculture #Lynx #Norse #animal

For hundreds of years Swedes and Norwegians have called for their animals this way. Some still do. #Tradition #Herding #Animal #Farm #myculture https://youtu.be/TRT8_m8aoow

Don't tell me vikings weren't romantic: if a viking girl wanted to show her man she liked him, she made him a shirt. As for Viking men, they would go out and handpick their lady a bunch of purple flowers- and then slap her around the face with it! Yeah.... well.... that oughta do it... #Viking #Romance #courtship #History #myculture Thank you for the wire @Southerndream
