Goly 845 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 It would be nice to see them reintroduced in Scotland. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oxo 458 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Would prefer they left them where they were rather than Edinburgh Zoo, but they looked tame. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 8,396 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 I can exclusively reveal Greyman released those lynx. It's all part of his dastardly masterplan to populate the UK with big cats in order to 'prove' their existence. He's been breeding them on the QT on his boat. 1 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,798 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 The biggest release I know of was from a breeding program in Norfolk were 25 were released a few were re captured a few killed on roads but a good number melted in to the wild never to be seen again of the three species we have here they are the most secretive and seen less, in the 1980s a good mate of mine watched one for 25 mins climbing down a cliff in a quarry he had the lamp on it but it couldn’t run away I arrived half hour later and just saw the pug marks in the silt on the quarry floor it would not surprise me if they never went extinct here and clung on in a few small pockets now boosted by the pet trade ??? 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to do that for a living, I wish I'd studied zoology, was always obsessed as a young kid. Famous off the back of his dad mate, think forest is more interested in his legacy though he has done a bit to show that just because science says no sometimes they are wrong I find it a bit gimmicky sitting under a tree of bacon expecting to lure things in I don’t expect any action on my cams until they have been out a few months as that’s how long it still smells of you and though it will catch you can see things are wary for the first month or so Quote Link to post Share on other sites
