Lynx in the Scottish Highlands

I just learned that four lynx have been illegally released in the Scottish Highlands. Of them, two have been recaptured. Releasing them was of coursea terrible idea, as the article explains. That said, I hope they release legally and responsibly lynx in Scotland in the future. Because it struck me that the land and the animal go well together. And this bit of news made me think of something else: I wonder if the many tales and sighting of cryptid wildcats that abound in the UK are not caused by such illegal release, accidental or intentional, of wild animals like these lynx.

Highland Cattles

A week and a half ago, we went to a local farm, one of Wolfie's favourite places. They have lots of animals to see, including Highland cattles. During my first trip to the UK, back when I was a child, we visited Scotland and the Highlands. We were very impressed to see the cattles, with their long shaggy coats. They look so exotic and so typically Scottish. I never get bored to see them.
