Native: A History of Animals in Britain

Rabbits, grey squirrels, roe deer, red foxes… all of these species are familiar to us as native British wildlife. But the animals we see around us have a complex history of introductions, extinctions, and co-existence with humans throughout history. In this course we will explore what it means for a species to be ‘native’, and how the fauna of mainland Britain has changed between the end of the last Ice Age and the present day.
