Damn that source is like straight up sophisticated.
Those look nothing like keys, I'm highly skeptical of your dubious claim. [editline]26th September 2013[/editline] Any sources you wish to cite to back up your argument, OP?

We got some Otters back in nothern Italy's rivers, they were long gone.
[QUOTE=Scot;42313054]So what, are bears swimming across to britain or something?[/QUOTE] It says 'EUROPE' not Britain. another way you can tell is because of that weird colour in OP's picture. i think, they call it .. g-grin? green? That doesn't exsist on England
[QUOTE=Scot;42313054]So what, are bears swimming across to britain or something?[/QUOTE] Why would they swim? Price of the ticket on both the ferry and the underground train is quite bearable.
[QUOTE=Scot;42313054]So what, are bears swimming across to britain or something?[/QUOTE] Britain maybe part of europe but not all of europe. There are other countries, too.
[QUOTE=SuddenImpact;42313592]Britain maybe part of europe but not all of europe. There are other countries, too.[/QUOTE] I know I just found the thought amusing
We should ship some bears and wolfs here to england, would liven the place up.

Pretty sure wolves and beavers have been reintroduced to Scotland already, wolves might be a work in progress though.
So reading the article - it pretty much makes us out to be the elves. :P As far as fantasy tropes go.
Hang on, vultures? In Europe? [editline]26th September 2013[/editline] I thought they were more of an African species, no?
[QUOTE=maxumym;42315191]Hang on, vultures? In Europe? [editline]26th September 2013[/editline] I thought they were more of an African species, no?[/QUOTE] We have vultures all over here in New Jersey.
But these are New World vultures, aren't they? The Old World vultures are a different species. Oh well, wikipedia tells me they live in Southern EU. I guess yea, it's warm enough there.

Britain needs wolves back, our deer population is out of control.
[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;42316963]Britain needs wolves back, our deer population is out of control.[/QUOTE] Wolves need forests though, right? Aside from some small pockets isn't most of Britain farmland these days?
I want bears in Faroe Islands, idk how they could get here tho. :(
[QUOTE=DaysBefore;42316986]Wolves need forests though, right? Aside from some small pockets isn't most of Britain farmland these days?[/QUOTE] Yes and no. In comparison to when wolves were actually around here most of it was just forest and plains, but now places where deer are rampant are usually forests or our national parks.
[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;42316963]Britain needs wolves back, our deer population is out of control.[/QUOTE] Ehh, we can just cull them. Plus toffs and Americans pay to shoot them so we're all good.
