A Scottish landowner has decided to reintroduce moose back to the Highlands.

Paul Lister wants to recreate a traditional forest on his 23,000 acre estate near Inverness , complete with animals who used to roam the glens thousands of years ago.

As well as moose, he has his eye on bears, lynx and wolves.

Rather worryingly, especially for his neighbours, he won’t be able to put fences up to keep the animals on his land.

Fencing them in means the park would be a zoo, making it illegal to put predators and prey together.

To whet your appetite before tonight’s A Moose In The Glen on BBC2 at 8pm, here’s some lovely footage of the moose in action.
