    Me neither,although I'm not surprised.Sure everyone knows that every thing or one of importance somehow originated here:D I'm fairly certain that we Irish will claim we used to breed wolly mammoths or TRexes at some stage.

    It made sense to me and I gave it credit straight away. The polar opposite to your reaction.

    We should see what other animals we can claim, this could be just the tip of the iceberg.

    All today's polar bears' maternal ancestors were from Ireland apparently.

    I did not know that.

    Never would have thought of it, thanks for the link and info :)

    yeah, apparently though different in every possible way, the polar males were able to mate successfully with the Irish females.

    Damned vikings and their pushiness.
