Experts said that wild lynx could be alive and roaming parts of Scotland and England as the Lynx UK Trust Scheme are planning to release the large catsinto three unfenced, privately-owned estates in Aberdeenshire, Cumbria and Norfolk. The proposal to release the wild animal is subject to an approval from the authorities.

Dr. Paul O' Donoghue, who works as the scientific adviser of the trust scheme, said that the wild lynx is one of the most beautiful cats in the world. Experts said that Eurasian Lynx is the largest of the lynx species and they also pointed out that wild lynx does not pose a threat to humans due to its solitary and secret nature.

The group has planned a public consultationin order to determine the public's reaction to the plans to release the wild lynx in theUK. If the plans are approved, four to six Eurasian lynxes will be released into the sites this year.
