mackem 26,325 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Is there a small population of wallaby near Gatwick? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
undisputed 1,664 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Anyone else find it wierd that the rabbit is a non native species of this country? because of the sheer number of them and the amount of animals and birds that prey on them you can't imagine them not being here. I didn't know rats and the house mouse aren't native either, bizarre! This is quite interesting: Top ten invasive species 1. House mouse – Brought over unnoticed by Neolithic man, the first records are from around 1,000 BC 2. Rats – Although originally from the steppes of Central Asia, rats spread over Europe quickly arriving on ships in Britain during the Saxon period. 3. Rabbit – The Romans first brought rabbits to Britain but they were not established in the wild until the mid to late 12th Century. 4. Goldfish – Samuel Pepys was the first person to write about Asian goldfish in Britain in 1655. 5. Muntjac deer – Brought in from China in 1838 by the 11th Duke of Bedford and soon escaped into the wild. 6. Parakeets – Despite rumours they escaped from film studios during the filming of the African Queen, ring-necked parakeets actually arrived from India much earlier in 1855. 7. Red-necked wallaby – Escaped from private collections as early as 1865 and soon became established in the wild. 8. Grey squirrel – Introduced from America in 1876 and released by landowners in England. 9. American mink –First imported to fur farms in Britain from Canada and Alaska in 1929. 10. Red-eared terrapin – A popular pet during the 1980s due to the ‘Ninja Turtle’ phase that escaped into the wild. your missing one, it has 2 legs, 2 arms, 2 eyes, a nose, a mouth, most have short fuzzy curly hair Is it Ryan Giggs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a big old place! and open to the public, don't think there is any harm in mentioning it, also stated, theres one of the biggest zoo's in the Country smack bang in the middle, with loads of them hopping about. Really don't think it matters if I mention the area. I could understand if I mentioned the farm, or geographical locations......but I haven't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think were going for caribou next week! cheers Callum I've had an Ostrich burger and it tasted more like red meat than it did any other bird meat that I've tried before IMO. Strange taste to it, it wasn't bad but I thought it'd taste better than it did. Kangaroo next for me I think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
