Lynx serve many crucial ecological roles, yet are solitary, secretive animals only a little bigger than a labrador dog. They very rarely attack livestock or pets, and *never* people. We need to be talking about their reintroduction to Ireland. 🌎

you may need some elk, too. we have Roosevelt ones out here in the Pacific NW temperate rainforest. I wonder if they would be helpful for you, given your GINORMOUS elks of ancient history.

Photo from David Hetherington + Laurent Geslin's brilliant book 'The Lynx and Us', published by Scotland the Big Picture, which I can't recommend highly enough. 🌏

It's also available to download as a free ebook here:

I do recall the reaction of the Lynx at Wild Ireland when it heard a child shrieking in the distance though 😂
