I'd say the latter are far more likely to be met than the former.

In todays paper it's reported that a clandestine group, which include solicitors and wildlife experts, are planning to release to the wild in the UK such animals as Walrus, Moose, Wolf, Bison and Linx.
They claim they already have the animals in their possession!
What's your opinion??
Mind you in N. Devon we've had Linx and Panther or Black Leopard for years!!! |

Badgers with suicidal tendences towards Badger baiters creates an interesting vision.. |

An old friend of mine, now sadly deceased, was walking in some woodland when he found a leather glove, which he picked up. A little later he found a young couple getting to know each other, and at the er, crucial moment tapped the young man on the shoulder, asked "Excuse me, is this your glove?"

They claim they already have the animals in their possession! | Walrus - how can you release walrus into the countrside
I dont have a problem with any of the others , though i suspect that there is little habitat suitable for either moose or bison

Which newspaper has been digging up these stories? Even with "dead" news days, they sound unbelievable! |
