      As much as I’d like to see wolves and bears and lynx I just don’t see it happening in the uk. It’s not practical. Think we should focus on birds and small mammals. However I’d love to see you talk about European bison and great bustards, as their both kinda back in the uk.

      Ireland maybe but in the uk it’s already too built up and the populations are too wide spread

    I live in moose, wolf and lynx part of country in Norway and the problems you would face of reintroduce moose are they follow routes 1000's of years old. We have signs on these routes so we know were to be observant in traffic. In britain they would be like cows loose in traffic I think. The wolves and lynx would be a great addition for you I think. Btw, the moose kill people the wolf and lynx don't.

    One creature that really should be considered for reintroduction is the burbot (Lota lota). This fish is the only freshwater member of the cod family. It was once so common in England (particularly the Norfolk Broads) that folks fed them to their pigs. The last one seen in the UK was in 1970 from the Great Ouse Relief Channel although some people think that there may be still survivors in Norfolk or Yorkshire. It is still reasonably common and widespread in Europe and as a likely extinct indigenous species it must surely be a candidate for reintroduction.

    • @baldieman64
      @baldieman64 3 місяці тому

      The Norfolk Rivers Trust has fairly well-developed plans to reintroduce the burbot to the River Wissey and Great Ouse catchments in the very near future.
      University College London and Southampton University have collaborated in research efforts to overcome regulatory restrictions.

That is the reason you can't have Moose or Wolves and Bears roaming around. We do not have the room or enough "proper" food. No matter how cool it is or how "wicked" they look.

    Wolves would just be unthinkable in the uk wild. We are a small island nation and the problem this would cause not only in urban areas and motorways, but farmland and Greater outdoors. They do not fit in with our current ecosystem anymore and it wouldn’t be fair on the wolves either. Romantic idea but advantageous and irresponsible if that ever went forward. Nice video though 👍🏼

      They definitely could survive in Scotland it’s got so much wilderness and on one of islands in the Hebrides they only went extinct in around 1888 pretty unbelievable but YEAH they definitely could survive here I don’t know about England though . And bringing back an animal like that would benefit so much to the ecosystem. And only 91% of Scotland's population live in 2% of its land area.

    Hi cookie 🙂 in case your looking for a golden pheasant you might have some luck up here were I live in the outskirts of Newcastle. Now last year me and my mum were down by a duck pond when we came upon two photographers who showed us a photo of a femal golden pheasant that was supposedly in the area. The area is shibbton pond local nature reserve, although this was a year ago so don't get your hopes up. As far as other wildlife goes you won't see anything more exiting than the odd roe deer and heron but you could go to the Derwent walk for that which isn't too far away where you can see foxes,willow tits,deer, badgers, dragonflies, a kingfisher (if you're lucky) and of course an abundance of red kites.

    From the guardian 2008: Last seen several thousand years ago loping through the ancient forests and glens of Scotland, two moose have arrived at a remote reserve in the Highlands as part of plans to reintroduce wild animals now extinct in the UK.
    The male and female moose are part of ambitious and controversial proposals by a millionaire landowner to recreate an ancient mountain habitat, complete with wolves, lynx and brown bears roaming freely within a vast fenced-off wildlife reserve north of Inverness.
    Paul Lister, the son of the founder of the MFI furniture chain, wants to "re-wild" 50,000 acres around his 23,000 acre estate at Alladale to create a safari-style wildlife reserve. Maybe they are breeding and you can chck them out

    Yep bring back the Moose, bison and maybe lynx but NOT the beautiful wolves, Wolves are too cruel a killer, They would be persecuted because they would go after livestock, so not good idea.. BUT why would you want to bring back all the aforementioned animals and the wolf to kill them off,hmmmm,, Also it would bring hunters back big time, Plus people complain too many deer but the next issue would be TOO many moose etc.. Really think things should be left as they are, man has encroached too much into wild animals habitat bringing back any thing else would lead to far too many more issues all of which would end up badly for the animals

    Wolf, lnyx, bears would fit well to a healthy ecosystem. But the problem is they really should talk with land owners and the peoples who live near to the release site, also do meeting, arguing nights, and program where they can show the newest studies. And also consider ate every aspects of the release. If an animal capable killing a baby lamb it would be feared by the local farmers and the fear will grow if they not lived together with the animal for centuries and what they know are mostly from stories. Althought may the animal will never reach their property the fear is there. In most country european lynxes very rarely kill livestock. But in Northern Europe where is a more healthy and larger lynx population, they kill livestocks and farmers generally bring up this datas. It funny bc in Hungary the big predators ( expect large bird of preys) only came back in the last 30 years. Farmers are not fear eagles bc they live together with them and they know that its very rare that an eagle kill a lamb, they also not fear lynx bc its rarely seen and timid and onyl can be found in closed forests. But if they hear wolf!!! They had a meeting with Transylvanian farmers whose Just laughed at wolf bc they count in it but Transylvanian farmers were more afraid of bears then wolfs. Also there are several solution for predators: compensation, free ancient sheperd and animal guarding dog breeds, and also 5 lined electrick fence. And another animal would be fit in UK the Aurochs like cattles.

I also think Wolverine and Walrus. I would love to see brown bears come back but I don't think it will happen nore do I think wolf or lynx will due to agriculture the lynx program has been pushed back 3 time due to farmer's stating there toich of a threat to livestock then here's an idea if you got money to buy land livestock and state of the art agriculture machinery then you can afford to put and electric fence around the edge of your land.

Apart from the deer, so many other animals already here are struggling and would be more endangered with the added predators. You shouldn't just introduce animals because they are awesome.
