10 Animals That Became Extinct In Britain


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

There are hundreds of species that once roamed the British countryside that no longer exist on these shores.

Some of these – such as the Eurasian beavers and white-tailed eagles – have been reintroduced, but many are gone, likely forever.

Now, the likes of the small tortoiseshell butterfly, turtle dove and even hedgehog are all on endangered lists.

It's a shame that some of these are gone.  It's a prime example of Darwin's survival of the fittest.  Those that can adapt do and survive.  Those that can't die off.

That's tough.   If adapt means stop eating human food or being a pain to humans, then I guess you are right.
