I'm searching around to see what we have and what we have lost. Not so easy, seems like there is not a huge amount of interest in larger animals, although plenty research in creepy crawlies and wotnot.
Obviously at some point there must have been larger wild animals, boars and such like, but what was there. It is difficult to see what was native and what was introduced, I presume most were introduced, but still, not much info to be found.
I'd love to see some reintroduction programs, get some good wildlife, real animals. I'm sick of spiders and centerpedes being a daily occurrence, while the howl of a night fox or calling of some monkey would be refreshing and leave a more tropical feeling.
I know things like reintroduction is never gunna happen in my life, but what has been made extinct, what was roaming the country at one time?
