Question

Are there still Leprecauns in the wild in Ireland or are they only in the zoo now?

Answer 1

Hello darling, welcome back.  I believe you asked this question quite some time ago so I will repeat my answer.  You can only find Leprechauns at the end of a rainbow with a pot of gold.

If you go to the zoo you will only find unicorns and dragons and will be very much disappointed.

I hope this helps.

I love you x

Answer 2

OMG there's such things as leprechauns?

Answer 3

I have one who is a sort of pimp at the bottom of my garden ....does a lot of work with the fairys..!!!

Answer 4

There's one residing in South Wales, little ol' me! Top of the morning to you!!

Answer 5

They do exist but they match in with the grass as they wear green and are so small.

Answer 6

They're trying a variety of breeding programs for the specimens living in the zoos--they're notoriously difficult to breed, given their high mortality rate (in captivity, they become aggressive and sometimes revert to cannibalism--they tend to be somewhat more gregarious in the wild).  There are still quite a few predators living the wild which feed on leprechauns; coupled with tourist children who catch them in jars and claim they've "captured their lucky charms", the population in the wild has its own difficulties with keeping up the numbers.

Only the future will see what fate awaits the much-fabled Homo leprechaunis.

Answer 14

I have answered this question before ............................

Due to the leprecaun treaty act of 1871 all leprechauns are required to distinguish themselves.Its kind of like high vis clothing, this is the official trade of the leprechauns, their main income is from the manufacture of high vis clothing for industry, anyway i digress, the act forbid all little people from wearing normal clothes because of the previous act, the schannigans act of 1869 gave immunity from prosicution to all wee folk for the mischief that they were habitually prone to. normal folk had to be able to distinguish from Leprechauns and very small people. the acty of 1871 forced them to dye their hair red, the pipe is not a requirement, Leprechauns are well known potheads, the schelleigh is due to their genetic susceptability to arthritis, they claim the pot helps to ease the pain.

The great leprechaun cull of 1985 drove them to extinction, They were rounded up and put in a concentration camp called Mosney, it still exists today.

Although one did survive, his father was a leprechaun but his mother is from county meath, that man is called hector o hochrogan, he is sort of a freakish celeb in ireland. And the overlord of the leprechauns. A film is currently in production about his life, it will star oscar winning actor Daniel Day Lewis its title will be "last of the leprechauns".

Answer 18

Yes, there are still Leprecauns in the wild in Ireland. They are not in zoos because no bars (other than cocktail bars) can hold them.

I love this question. It always brings a smile. Thanks!

p.s. Do Leprecohans double and triple park on Fridays in Ireland?

Answer 19

I believe they are trying to reintroduce them into the wild.

Answer 20

Well, if you've actually been to  the Zoo and seen one, please e-mail National Geographic Magazine.  They'd like to do an article on it, as Leprecauns in the wild are exceedingly hard to photograph.

Answer 21

Answer 22

leprecauns is that how you spell it

Answer 23

Answer 24

Sure - you can get your very own at Carroll's on Lwr O'Connell streeet. Oh and they also have them FCEK tees and Leprechaun beards: yes they actually snatched a bunch of drunken Leprechauns and removed their facial hair. Two of them currently sit in the Dáil and they call them Pat and Bertie... keep an eye out you might catch a glimpse of them!
