Lynx in Thetford forest

[10 Bears]

Interesting point, introduce Lynx to control deer numbers and then reduce stalking to increase deer numbers for the Lynx...

 

I look forward to the time wolverines are introduced to control the lynx.

 

Conservation inspired by the Simpsons (taken from Bart the Mother):

 

Skinner: Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend.

Lisa: But isn’t that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we’re overrun by lizards?

Skinner: No problem. We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They’ll wipe out the lizards.

Lisa: But aren’t the snakes even worse?

Skinner: Yes, but we’re prepared for that. We’ve lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.

Lisa: But then we’re stuck with gorillas!

Skinner: No, that’s the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

 

(tried to find a short clip of this but no luck...)

Great thread, there appear to be lynx in east anglia already though, there was one shot near Beccles, Suffolk (my home town) in the early 90s, another somewhere between norwich n gt Yarmouth more recently, wife's aunt n her teenage son saw one cross footpath about 10m in front of them a couple of years ago, it stopped n stared! When I asked if she was sure the reply was " I know what a f#####g lynx looks like!" ( she's not one to mince words or doubt her honesty.😄
