Welcome
Have you ever imagined
what it would be like
if wild cats roamed
the countryside? Well,
the Lynx UK Trust are
looking to trial just that.
The solitary lynx cat
disappeared from Britain
thousands of years ago, but could this
important keystone species be reintroduced?
Find out on page 12.
From animals that we want to rewild to

creatures like the cane toad and lionfish that
have been introduced in to foreign habitats
and are becoming major pests, we take a
look at the worst invasive species on Earth
on page 54.
Our biggest feature this issue is our
beginner’s guide to birdwatching. If you want
to get started, we have all the right advice
including tips from TV presenter and nature
expert, Chris Packham.
We also show you how to capture
amazing photos of birds. We’d love to
see your bird photography! Email us at
photos@animalanswers.co.uk.
