Had to be indigenous before anyone would contemplate re-wilding,I don’t know if coyote were ever in the UK but I do remember when the two guys in American werewolf in London were on the moor,they hear a howl,one of the pair suggests it’s a coyote (Americans eh).

Did you hear that?

Yeah.

What was it?

Could be a lot of things,a coyote.

There aren’t any coyotes in England.

Serious answer?I have eaten more beaver than you can shake a stick at in every part of the world but if you mean the aquatic American castoridae then no.There’s beaver the next street over,beaver in the lakes at the back,I see them often,but unless I needed to then no WalMart is just down the road so no reason to skin a beaver.

I watch plenty of alaska programmes on the TV,  and I've always wondered what beaver ( the animal ) tasted like . I also wonder what bear tastes like . They always say it tastes delicious,  but I always think it would taste awful.

Beaver should be good. Its a herbivore. Possum, would be a challenge I'd say

Possum looks like it would taste how a dead rat smells

That one on the road was very fresh but stank.
