Eurasian lynx

The Eurasian lynx (Lynx Lynx), also known as the Common lynx, European lynx, Asian lynx, Northern lynx, Russian lynx, or Siberian lynx, is a medium sized lynx that is native to European and Siberian forests. The Eurasian lynx is listed as Near Threatened as of 2002. The Eurasian lynx is one of the widest-ranging, and is found in the forests of Europe, Russia, and Central Asia. Its 10 subspecies are the Northern, Carpathian, Balkan, Caucasian, Altai, Siberian, Turkestan, Baikal, Amur, and Sardinian. It is the largest of the lynx genus. Nobody knows exactly when the last British lynx died but it became extinct in Roman times and it's estimated that lynxes will return to Britain very soon. Like the wolf, the main benefit of the European lynx is to reduce deer numbers. But there are some sightings in Britain; One day, there was a lynx caught on camera in Scotland in 2013, a lady found a lynx in her garden, and a strange cat was found in England and nobody knows if it was a lynx, bobcat, moggy, or domestic cat hybrid. In the last 50 years, biologists are trying to bring back wolves, lynxes, and brown bears back to Britain. The Scottish highlands could support lynx populations and wolf populations. The 4 best known subspecies of the European lynx are the Balkan, Sardinian, Caucasian, Turkestan, and Siberian. The last British lynx was killed in West Yorkshire in 700 AD. The wilder parts of England and Wales have a lot of habitat suitable for the lynx. The idea of numbers in Scotland have a devastating effect on woodland and other habitats. The lynx is the national animal of Romania and Serbia and the wolf is the national animal of Turkey and Serbia. The lynx, eagle, Lanner falcon, and wolf are the national animals of Serbia. The brown bear is the national animal of Finland and Russia. The lynxes that disappeared in Britain could be reintroduced using animals captured in continental Europe where there are now populations living in Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Slovakia, and France. Either lynxes became extinct 10,000 years ago because of the end of the Ice Age or 4,000 years ago because of a wetter climate. In Britain, it's called Lugh in Gaelic, Llew in Welsh, and Lox in Old English. They also lived in Ireland 9,000 years ago as well and we should reintroduce them back to Ireland too. Lynxes may have used to have been found in every European country. In 1996, a cat-like creature was shot in Northern Ireland, although they were thought to be extinct in Ireland 9,000 years ago. My mom says that it would be better to reintroduce wolves to the British isles than lynxes there because wolves hunt in packs of up to 40 members large and lynxes are just solitary animals and can sometimes hunt in pairs. The beaver, wolf, bear, lynx, wisent, wolverine, and moose are the most suitable mammals for the British reintroduction. At least there's enough habitat in the Scottish highlands and Northeastern England. Do you think it's better to reintroduce wolves or lynxes to the British isles? Leave a comment bellow and let me know. European lynxes also died out in some other European countries such as the Netherlands, Italy, France, Switzerland, and other countries in Europe. Compared to other European countries, The UK has been slow to reintroduce its indigenous species, despite European legislation encouraging it. Big predators now roam in nearly one-third of Mainland Europe. There are currently 17,000 Brown bears, 12,000 Gray wolves, 9,000 European lynxes, and 1,250 Wolverines. I'd prefer to call them European lynxes because they live more in Europe than Asia. Of course there are a lot of wild felines in Asia but I'd prefer to call them European lynxes but they do live in Asia too. Leopards, lions, and other big cats also used to live in Britain. The native names for the lynx in other countries are: Lynx (France), Luchs (Germany), Lince (Spanish/Italian), Sinoki (Ainu: Sakhalin island), Iusan (Armenia), Meshag or Mesh (Azerbaijan), Tsogde (Baltistan: Pakistan), Shihli (Chinese), Ilves (Finland), Potskhveri (Georgia), Varchakh (Farsi: Iran), Silovsin or Suloosun (Kazakh: Kyrgyz/Uzbek), Yi (Ladakhi: India), Phiauku (Lahul: India), Sheleisin (Mongolia), Gaupe (Norway), Oatsalam (Kashmiri), Rys (Russian: Czech republic/Slovakia/Romania/Russia/Slovenia), Lodjur (Sweden), Vasak (Turkey), and Su-Laisun (Uygur). A lynx can even take down a young or weak moose. If it can take an adult that's not weak, 2 lynxes will probably take it down by ambushing it. But unfortunately, moose can defend themselves if they were attacked.
