I am confused how people view the 'wildness' of some feral mammal populations in the UK, so any guidance from others would be appreciated!
The mammal society UK mammal list includes populations of Exmoor/Dartmoor Pony, Reindeer, Red-necked Wallaby, Racoon, Feral Goat, Feral Sheep and 'wild' Cattle within their list of 107 UK mammal species. Do people who keep a list of mammals include any of these species and if so which populations?
As you can probably tell I am trying to compile my own UK mammal list but it is hard with no structured system in the same why as I have found accessible with birds!
TIA
