Josef spent two weeks observing lynxes from a hide at Torre de Juan Abad, Ciudad Real, Spain. It’s common for young lynxes to play with their prey before killing it. This one repeatedly threw the rodent high in the air and caught it again. The game lasted about 20 minutes before the lynx got bored. It then took the rodent behind a bush and ate it. Photo / Josef Stefan]]></image:caption></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/companies/freight-logistics/diesel-price-surge-freight-firms-add-fuel-surcharges-as-costs-jump-80/premium/6RDEYDT6TBHJ3ET7HIU7D5YIOI/</loc><lastmod>2026-03-25T00:00:00Z</lastmod><changefreq>always</changefreq><priority>0.5</priority><image:image><image:loc>https://www.nzherald.co.nz/resizer/v2/FI3OCAVWY3VS5UGEKNT7S5IH5E.jpg?auth=3ac61a869ba57a99dc7882f299f98ad9fe9e648c634cc7503397c70b6cf208ab&amp;smart=true&amp;width=1024&amp;height=768</image:loc><image:caption><![CDATA[Freight and logistics companies across New Zealand are being forced to rise prices for their services as the cost of diesel spikes.
