Hello, I'm Jenny and you're watching Newsround, live on CBBC, coming up.

Why this wild cat could make a comeback.

And the doggie food bank feeding hungry hounds,

First up, it's more than 1,000 years since this wild cat,

called a lynx, died out in the UK.

Now there's a new plan to re-introduce them

into the English countryside, but not everyone's happy about it.

A bit like a leopard, crossed with a pet cat.

But there's no way you've seen a lynx wild in the UK.

That's because they used to be hunted for their beautiful fur

and became extinct in the UK about 1,300 years ago.

A group called Lynx UK Trust wants to bring them back.

They'd like to release six lynx to Kielder Forest in Northumberland

for a five-year trial and they've been talking to local

students about it.

That's actually how big a real-life lynx is.

Are lynx dangerous to people?

Lynx live all over the world and in human history a healthy wild

lynx has never ever ever attacked a human anywhere in the world.

The Lynx Trust said the cats will help keep the deer population

down as well as encouraging more tourists to visit the area.

But sheep farmers disagree.

They are worried the lynx could be a threat to the sheep.

I think it's an absolutely stupid idea for a predator that's not been

in this country for 1,000 years to be released.

As far as I'm concerned, the lynx will go for the easy target

which is going to be a sheep and a lamb.

The decision is now in the hands of a group called Natural England

and if they say yes it's thought there could be eventually be

as many as 400 lynx living in forests across the UK.

Having pets is brilliant, but they can be very expensive

to look after and feed.

One woman has set up a special food bank for animals.

Whitney went to find out more.

Hi.

Hello.

Say Newsround.

Come on.

Hi, Marjorie.

At your rescue centre that you manage, as you can

hear, a lot of the dogs.

What exactly is a doggie food bank?

Something that is relatively new.

We've just started it and what we were finding is a lot

of people were ringing the rescue asking us to take their pets.

One of the reasons is sometimes they can't afford to keep them.

So that's where the idea of the doggie food bank came.

People donate dog food and so that when people are struggling,

they come here and we give them the appropriate type of food

for the breed of dog that they have, for the age of the dog.

Thanks, Marjorie.

This is Toto.

I think I've made a new friend here!

Now it's time for me to try and feed Toto.

This is an example of dry food, isn't it, Marjorie?

So how much food would a dog need?

Normally a dog on dry kibble, someone Toto's size,

twice a day as an adult dog.

A puppy you're looking at feeding more often.

Small quantities but more often.

I think Toto needs some of this food because I can feel him climbing

up my leg ready to eat something.

He's definitely hungry.

Is this his first feed today?

No, he's always like this.

Sounds a bit like me!

A treasure hunter, from Fyfe in Scotland, has made

a massive discovery.

David was 14 when he found loads of Roman silver

with his metal detector.

Now experts say the pieces are really important,

because they're thought to be the oldest found outside

the Roman Empire.

His find is set to go on display at the National Museum of Scotland.

Next, it's been a pretty good week for British swimmer Adam Peaty.

He came away with two golds and a silver,

at the World Swimming Championships in Budapest, in Hungary where

he even broke his own world record.

Twice!

Well Adam will be dropping by to chat to Newsround tomorrow

and we want your questions.

So head to Newsround online and send them in.

Adam could be answering them in the morning.

Next, forget all about British astronaut Tim Peake,

because the coolest space dude nowadays, is this guy.

That's right, it's a dog dressed as an astronaut!

Lots of dogs were dressed up in snazzy costumes,

from pirates to pom poms, to take part in this competition

in El Salvador in Central America.

They certainly don't look ruff!

That's all from the team for now.

Newsround's back at 8.15.

Bye!

We love CBBC. And we love The Next Step... And The Dumping Ground.

Can't wait for more episodes.
