Meet the Mammals
In Meet the Mammals we have sought to provide basic but interesting information on mammals that can be found locally within Northern Ireland. Many of the species found here are unique as they became separated from their closest UK relatives during the last Ice Age. Mammals are an important part of the biodiversity of Northern Ireland, although some are not native and can complete with our native mammals. In addition some are classed "Priority Species". These animals need our help to survive as there are many threats to their homes and food. Suitable for KS2 and lower KS3 children.
