Zoology in Dublin

Dublin Zoology1Foxes (Cams vulpcs), Otters {Ultra vulgaris), Badgers (Melcs taxus), and Martens (Mustelo. martes), are found in various parts of the area, the order of frequency being roughly at in which they are quoted.

As elsewhere in Ireland, the Irish Stoat (Putorius Jnbernicus) is frequent, as also the Alpine Hare (Lepus variabilis}. The Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), believed to have been introduced into Ireland in Wicklow about 1820, is now widespread in Leinster.
