Are you certain on that last point?

I don't know that much about the lynx but it seems like it might be a useful ideal predator to release to help deal with deer overpopulation. They don't prey on people.
- almog 6y agoOn that note, what does aggressive even mean as an adjective to a predator?
- hetspookjee 6y agoHaha, good question, but to answer: you can have black mamba aggresive, and black bear friendly. Both are fearsome predators but you can definitely say that a black mamba is way more aggresive. Unrelated, but after googling I also found capybaras to be the most friendly animals.
