Coinín Eorpach
Tógann na mamaigh seo uachais fhairsinge agus tagann siad amach sa chlapsholas chun féar a ithe. Thángadar go hÉirinn sna Meánaoiseanna i dtús báire, agus rinne na manaigh ‘feirmeoireacht’ orthu sna dumhcha dá gcuid feola agus fionnaidh. Tá oiriúnuithe speisialta acu chun plandaí righne a dhíleá, agus bíonn siad tostach seachas nuair a bheirtear greim orthu.
European Rabbit
These mammals build extensive burrows, coming out at dusk to graze. They were introduced to Ireland in the Middle Ages and ‘farmed’ on dunes by monks for their fur and meat. They have special adaptations to digest tough plants, and are silent except when caught.
