Two more Lynx have been spotted on the loose in the north of Scotland - as police have again warned the public not to approach the animals. Police Scotland said the animals were spotted at around 7.10am in the Dell of Killiehuntly area near Kingussie.

A post on Facebook said: "Members of the public are asked not to approach the animals and officers are working with specially trained personnel to capture them.

"Enquiries suggest the sighting is connected with a release of two lynx seen in the same area on Wednesday, 8 January. They were safely captured on Thursday, 9 January."

Enquiries are continuing to establish the full circumstances of both sightings. If anyone saw anything in the area or has any information then please call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0387 of Friday, 10 January, 2025.
