The current distribution of the wolverine (Gulo gulo) does not include England (see the map and data at this link:\nhttp://bss.sfsu.edu/geog/bholzman/courses/Fall00Projects/wolverine.html )\nHowever, a fossil wolverine has been found in England dated at about 83,000 years before present, so they went extinct there after the Late Pleistocene, well before historical times.\n\nOriginal research article (sorry I don't have a link): Sutcliffe, A. J. et al. 1985. Wolverine in northern England at about 83,000 yr B.P. faunal evidence for climatic change during isotope stage 5. Quarternary Research: 24:73-86.\n\nThis fossil is also mentioned in this publication:\nhttp://wwwrses.anu.edu.au/environment/eePDFs/2005/2005%20-%20Pike%20et%20al%20-%20U-series%20dating%20of%20the%20Late%20Pleistocene.pdf

We did at one time have lions in these parts.  They went extinct as part of the megafaunal extinctions that took place about 10,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age (perhaps not so coincidentally, also about the same time sizable human populations arrived in North America).\n\nThere are a few problems with re-introducing lions into the modern ecosystem.\n\nBeyond the potential danger to humans living in the area, or the danger to livestock, it wouldn't be a good idea simply because that ecosystem really no longer exists.\n\nThe prairie as a true ecosystem is almost completely gone today.  There are no gigantic herds of bison that can migrate from Canada throughout the western United States anymore.  More than 99% of the prairies have been ripped up and turned into crops to feed the swollen ranks of humanity on the planet.\n\nThe temperate grasslands are the most endangered ecosystem on the planet (far more so than tropical rainforest).  There is virtually no untouched prairie left anywhere on the globe.  \n\nThere's simply no place to actually introduce the lions even if we wanted to.\n\nUPDATE:  Upon actually reading the article you linked to, I see that this is exactly the problem the proposed project is intended to ameliorate.  I whole-heartedly agree, and think it's a fantastic idea!  Thank you for posting this!

It wasn't, it was the land of ANGLES. The Angles were Germanic people, from Angeln in Schleswig, who settled in East Anglia, Mercia and Northumbria in the 5th century. Southern and eastern Britain was later called Engla-lond (in Old English, "Land of the Angles"), thus England.

Wolverines is one of the most popular team names.  There are hundreds if not thousands of high school in the US with that team name.
