New plan to introduce a predator to Scotland after 1000 years will help save forests IT is the forgotten predator that disappeared from Scotland due to fur hunting and habitat loss over 1000 years ago. Since then the British countryside has been devoid of large carnivores and any memory of living alongside anything larger than a fox or badger has been lost with the brown bear and the wolf also now absent from the landscape. Now new plans have been revealed to reintroduce one predator to Scotland - the Eurasian lynx, which is considered the most suitable candidate for carnivore restoration in Britain.
