3. The European otter is classed as "vulnerable to extinction". Its main threat comes from humans, through habitat destruction, pollution and traffic. However the numbers are slowly increasing in some areas. Their diet mainly consists of fish. During the winter and in colder environments, though, fish consumption is significantly lower. Its life span is generally of 9-10 years.

5. The wildcat is Britain’s last large mammal predator, but it could become extinct within the next decade. Fewer than 400 remain, all in Scotland – the last recorded wildcat in England was shot in 1849. A captive breeding programme has been set up to save the species. In the wild, the wildcat consumes up to 600 grams of food daily and often live up to 13-14 years in general but they have been known to live up to 20 years.

7. These tiny mammals are endangered due to the loss of their woodland habitat, and have disappeared from 50% of their former range.
