Lynx Escape - Dartmoor Zoo

[sunndog]

Have they found that lynx yet

 

[dewi]

Last I heard they'd found it and were observing it... presumably they don't want to tranquilize it

 

[sunndog]

I'd lure it into a van with a loaf of bread

are you trying to kidnap old ladies or catch a Lynx?

 

[dewi]

Is that how you kidnap old ladies then? Lure them into your van with loaves of bread?

In all seriousness though, they are apparently trying to lure the lynx with raw meat... quite what they're going to do then is another matter.

Well to you lot they might be old ladies to me they are hot dates and nice soft fresh bread is the key

In this thread, you have had, me in stitches. There will always be a place for you fireside at my camp.
You dont even have to speak, you can live of them one liners for years.

It may come to nothing but would anyone be interested in assisting in the Search for the Lynx that has escaped from Dartmoor Zoo this Weekend ?

Safety warning? I found it!!!



They're actually two cats in this photo on my front yard.





Just kidding! Crawling in kitty cats. Also bear which are eating the bird feeders and the street again. Naw it's just fine. Lots of small game for them and maybe a pet or two.

.....And please, define a 'good' zoo. What does that mean? If you lock up an animal that is used to roaming in acres of land and restrict it to 5 acres, is it a good zoo because its given 5 acres rather than a 20ft by 20ft cage?.....

I think the answer to that question is; 'better than one where they are in cages'.
I've been to such a 'zoo' in France. It had a wolf pack in an enclosure that was acres in extent. Signs informed visitors that the wolves would likely only be visible at feeding times .......

What mrcharly said. That would be almost every zoo still in operation here. Particularly good ones that I've actually been to would be the New Orleans Zoo, the San Antonio Zoo (th latter of those takes the better part of a day to see) The Gulf Breeze Zoo. Mnay other smaller ones I've seen and the biggest ones in the country that I have NOT personally seen such as the New York Zoo and the San Diego Zoo.

By the way, those tv shows that have been referenced as the preferred method of educating children or adults; care to guess just who funds those? That would be the larger zoos.

I dunno everyone just seemed to be getting all serious and in each others faces so i thought i'd have a bit of a laugh, good to know i am not just making myself chuckle

Bod used to be attracted to older women.......then he got to the point where there werent any

And yes, a little known fact is that lynx and old ladies will do anything for a fresh hedgehog loaf

 

[dewi]

Update on the lynx (although its the news on my phone which always seems to lag behind for whatever reason)... they've setup humane traps with raw meat as bait... the lynx is taking the meat from the traps but isn't getting caught in the traps.

They've been using thermo-imaging and drones to follow it, but it looks like the lynx might be giving them the run around.

And that is how a post can snowball into a free for all!!
Wow, read the first page and got lost!
Did anyone say yes or no to the OP?
Ha, ha oh the drama!

Perfectly normal thread for BCUK... especially when Bod is involved

 

[GGTBod]

Hey i wasn't the derailleur i just happened to get on a train going in another direction all of my own once the thread was already in a smoking ruin at the edge of the track, just to keep the metaphor rolling

 

[Toddy]

So, back to the lynx.

Anyone else think it's winning the battle of wits ?

I really like the thought of it being a pregnant female and it never gets caught, hey we can all have fantasies nowt wrong wi that

 

[Toddy]

Do you think drones will take over from tracking ?
