What is your Favourite British Animal?

My favourite British animal is probably the Fox or the Hedgehog.

Re: What is your Favourite British Animal?

Welcome to WAB Jamie. I think mine is a toss up between Scottish Wildcat and Pine Marten. Assuming we are talking about mammals.

Re: What is your Favourite British Animal?

They are all lovely but my favourites are:

Fox and those deer found in the Scottish Highlands (sorry don't know what kind of deer they are called)

Re: What is your Favourite British Animal?

The one with the biggest wow factor for me is...

The Peregrine Falcon.

Top predator - top bird.

Re: What is your Favourite British Animal?

I like them all. I always get excited when i come across a Shrew, and their twitchy nose makes me giggle. But i am going with Fox, as my one of my favourite.
