The island of Great Britain, along with the rest of the archipelago known as the British Isles, has a largely temperate climate. It contains a relatively small fraction of the world's wildlife. The biota was severely diminished in the last ice age, and shortly (in geological terms) thereafter was separated from the continent by the English Channel's formation. Since then, humans have hunted the most dangerous forms (the wolf, the brown bear and the wild boar) to extinction, though domesticated forms such as the dog and the pig remain. The wild boar has subsequently been reintroduced as a meat animal.

  • Фауна Великобритании характерна для природы северной Европы и не отличается большим разнообразием. (ru)
  • 'Fauna de Gran Bretaña, en la mayoría de Gran Bretaña hay un clima templado que recibe altos niveles de precipitaciones y niveles medios de insolación. Hacia el norte, el clima se hace más frío y los bosques de coníferas sustituyen en gran medida a las especies caducifolias de los bosques del sur. La isla de Gran Bretaña, junto con el resto del archipiélago conocido como el Islas Británicas alberga una fauna típica de clima templado oceánico, poco diversa si se compara a nivel mundial y similar a la de otros países de Europa del Norte.
