Re: Indigenous Animals

I always think of indigenous as in peoples like Aboriginees for example since the west invaded such countries and did treat the natives as good people. So if it hasn't invaded this may validate it. The Grey Squirrel never chose to come here but has the red fighting for survival. Same goes for Me my ancestors could be roman norman saxon and possibly migrating Celts but i see my self as British. We know that Wolves Bears Beavers were wiped out (which i'd like to know more on how this came to be) which we know were Native and bringing them back here to me holds more validation than bringing in Gibbons to our shores but wallabies as you say have settled locally as Camels have in Australia. Monbretia is a classic Garden Escape and holds esteem to us folk. I have two Wild Turkeys (North American) which were released and doing quite well but wouldn't go as far as to say there Indigenous. In- Dig- Enous Possibly means Indweller? So i'd go back and say it's probably more poinant name relating to Humans.
