Overview
FAUNA BRITANNICA by Duff Hart-Davis (Weidenfeld, pounds 30) FAUNA BRITANNICA by Stefan Buczacki (Hamlyn, pounds 40) One of these, the coypu (from South America) arrived in 1929 to be farmed for their soft under-fur. They soon escaped into the wild, spread through East Anglia, and devoured garden vegetables, cereal crops, potatoes and sugar beet, undermined waterway banks with their burrows, and cost the pest-control people millions to eradicate them. THE TINY edible dormouse was introduced by the Romans, who kept them in special jars, fattening them up on nuts and roasting them as a treat. They eventually escaped to become a pest, raiding farm crops, invading houses, chewing through wood and electrics, drowning themselves in water tanks and polluting the entire system.
