MAMMALS

Greytown Homepage

Many species of mammals that used to occur naturally in  our area have been hunted out or have moved away due to habitat destruction. Fortunately, we have become more aware of our environment and some species have been re-introduced in game reserves and on private game farms. Below is a list of mammals that occur naturally or have been re-introduced so successfully that they can be considered wild in our area including the Weenen Game Reserve.
