Greyman 25,142 Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 This is a big problem for the release programme certain bodies that don't want the Lynx released will and are already started using this as an example of a wild Lynx,s normal behaviour, were as in most of there natural habitat they take 0.4 sheep per year I think Scandinavia is the only place the numbers are a bit higher, if the Lynx stay,s free he will naturalise and revert to taking the odd deer in winter and the young of smaller mamals through the summer, the poor thing is used to living in a cage having meet thrown to him, if they sent the sheep carcasses off to the same labs for DNA testing that we send ours off to they will confirm they were killed by dogs,fox,s or anything other than the Lynx, interesting thing is he has almost gone into a cage trap but seemed scared off by a trail camera they had put up next to the cage, I,m cheering for the Lynx hope he finds a street wise mate and gets on 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The number was 25 times higher in Norway! Edited November 8, 2017 by Born Hunter Correcting my facts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,142 Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Another thing is that farmers are a little bit wily when it comes to getting a bit of compo and will be blaming everything on the Lynx so they can get a pound or two, I dare say all the sheep were prize winning Suffolk,s worth a fortune 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It must be so habituated to having its grub provided that this must be a possibility. Any other cases where this has happened? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
