With the exception of a few local bats, New Zealand has no native land-based mammals. Its bird population adapted to this state of affairs – some, like the Kiwi, are flightless, or nest on the ground. When stoats, cats, possums and rats were introduced, they wreaked havoc: crunching down rare insects, killing fresh-hatched chicks, and slurping the eggs of ground-nesting birds.
Hedgehogs are also key culprits. “It’s increasingly coming to light how much damage they can do,” says Nick Foster, a PhD candidate at the University of Otago who is researching hedgehogs. A single, dedicated hedgehog will consume numerous native lizards, bird eggs, and wētā – a kind of large flightless cricket found only in New Zealand. One study found 283 wētā legs in a single hedgehog stomach. “That means in a 24-hour period this hedgehog has guzzled up 60 or so animals,” Foster says. “It’s a banquet.”
The mission to try to drive hedgehogs from protected habitats is seen as critical in New Zealand. The country is running an ambitious campaign to eradicate introduced predators by 2050, using a mixture of trapping, hunting, and poison.
A herd of deer have been spotted grazing on an east London housing estate
It's touch and go on whether it'll survive. I believe they've moved it from where it was lodged but they still don't know if it'll be okWhat is thought to be a juvenile Minke whale has got its self stuck in the Thames.
"The police, fire crews and the RNLI have worked through the night to try to free a whale stranded in the River Thames in south-west London.
The whale, believed to be a baby Minke, was spotted in Richmond Lock on Sunday evening - and has since been moved.
A vet will now assess whether it is strong enough to be released back to sea"

Residents were stunned to see a herd of deer grazing outside their front doors on an estate in east London.
The animals had walked across the busy A12 in Harold Hill, Romford, from their home in Dagnam Park.
They are thought to be one of five herds in the area that have been breeding there for hundreds of years.

There seems to be a lot of towns thst used to be in Kent, Essex, Surrey and Sussex which are all classed as 'London' now.I was born and raised in Stratford and I would never class Romford as 'East London"
Almost a really awful situation. The tiger was being illegally kept in the rental house. It was taken back in by the owner after an off-duty cop nearly shot it as it was roaming loose. Unsuprisingly, the owner (with the tiger) is now gone missing and wanted not only for this crime but awaiting trial for murder.Tiger loose in suburb:

Very sad.
But pretty inevitable
Thank you for visiting us. Sorry it turned out as it did.

Houston police are still looking for the man who escaped with his pet tiger late Sunday, and now they know why he probably took off.
The suspect, whose name hasn't been released, is out on bond for a November 2020 murder in Fort Bend County, according to HPD Commander Borza.
Before police arrived to question him, the man loaded the Bengal tiger in a white Jeep Cherokee and took off. There was a brief chase, but they lost him.
The suspect is 28 years old, 5'8 and about 130 pounds. Anyone with information should contact the HPD Major Offenders Division at 713-308-3100.
He now faces an evading arrest charge and his bond on the murder charge will be revoked, Borza said. They hope to get the tiger back before it's harmed.
At present, the best guide to what is classed as being part of 'London' would be the post code. Romford has it's own postcode, RM, which indicates it is not part of London.There seems to be a lot of towns thst used to be in Kent, Essex, Surrey and Sussex which are all classed as 'London' now.
The tiger was located and moved to a sanctuary.Except the probable murderer, who manhandled the tiger, bundled it into truck and drove off, now denies that the tiger is his!
Yep posted that story directly above yours this morningThe tiger was located and moved to a sanctuary.
He's OK. https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/16/us/india-tiger-houston-missing-sunday/index.html
The dude's back in jail, I think.
Update ... Wally has moved south from Wales to Cornwall.Expect a lot more of Wally and his pals wandering south with climate change.
FULL STORY: https://www.livescience.com/wally-the-walrus-appears-in-cornwall.htmlWhere's Wally? Iceberg-hopping walrus is now 2,600 miles from home
The walrus is now roughly 2,650 miles south of its usual habitat.
The Arctic walrus that likely fell asleep on a drifting iceberg and woke up in Ireland, and then turned up weeks later in Tenby, Wales, has now appeared even farther south, in Cornwall, England.
The walrus (Odobenus rosmarus), known as Wally, is the first of its species to be spotted off the coast of Cornwall, roughly 2,650 miles (4,260 kilometers) from the animal's home in the Arctic Circle.
Wally appeared off Cornwall in Padstow on April 20, swimming alongside the boat of a group on a sea safari. The Cornwall Wildlife Trust described the walrus's arrival in the area as "absolutely a first." ...
The appearance came just three days after Wally was last seen in Tenby, Wales, where it had a run-in with a lifeboat crew after blocking their lifeboat slipway, which Wally had chosen as a comfortable spot to nap. ...
cheeky visitor had managed to sneak through the open front door.
After getting bags from the car, the couple turned around and were surprised to see a fox chilling in their hallway.
However, upon seeing Natasha and Adam, the animal bolted off inside.
Natasha said: ‘Foxes can be seen as a nuisance but like any other creature, they are simply trying to ensure their survival.
‘The fantastic fox in the washing machine seemed very relaxed and no threat to us so we treated it as such.’
