Answer 8

Only 26 land mammal species are native to Ireland, because it was isolated from the European mainland by rising sea levels after the Midlandian Ice Age. Some species, such as the red fox, European hedgehog, stoat, and Eurasian badger are very common, whereas others, like the Irish hare, red deer and pine marten are less common and generally seen only in certain national parks and nature reserves around the island. Some introduced species have become thoroughly naturalised, e.g. the European rabbit, gray squirrel and brown rat.

Species that have become extinct in Ireland include, the Irish Great Elk, the great auk, the European beaver, the brown bear and the wildcat. The last grey wolf in Ireland was killed by a County Carlow farmer in 1783

There are no snakes in Ireland and only one land reptile is native to the country, the viviparous (common) lizard.

Three amphibians are found, the frog, the common newt and the natterjack toad. There are questions over whether the frog is actually native to Ireland with some historic accounts telling that the frog was introduced in the 18th century. The natterjack toad is only found in a few localised sites in Co Kerry and west Cork.
