The BCIB members' email list has been busy over the last fortnight. Here's one of the topics under discussion...
Wild boar and big cats
Might our growing population of wild boar be predated by big cats? Dr Martin Goulding of the British Wild Boar website replies:-
"Wild boar are very good at defending themselves and a big cat is unlikely to risk injury taking on a adult boar. Juvenile boar and piglets may be taken though, and this is known to occur in Polish forests with lynx predating small boar. "
