Default Lynx reintroduction

In article ,
says...
There not room for lynxes (or wolves) to be reintroduced here


Presumably you're referring to arable Lincolnshire, which afaik is not
the area where lynx would be introduced.

I suspect you haven't seen the amount of "room available" in the
Scottish Highlands. Or, the unnatural degree of damage done to the
native ecology there, by uncontrolled deer.

I was under the impression that the problem in the Scottish Highlands
was red deer. As I understand from this thread, lynx aren't a solution
to the red deer problem.


I'm not sure why you think that; lynx predate red deer in Europe.
