A surprising addition to this list may be that of the fearsome predator lynx, a close relative of the tiger and other members of the Felidae family (cats, lions, jaguars etc.) While they have survived across the world in varying amounts, the lynx went extinct in Britain quite some time ago. Researchers believe that the lynx lived and thrived on the British Isles as a highly deadly, highly successful predator until just over a thousand years ago in which they are believed to have been driven to extinction due to human hunting.
