They aren't as unnatural as trolls!

Note that I did not post the abuse, so here is a serious answer
to your reasonable question. There are at most two mammals that
are native to the British Isles over a 10,000 year timescale (the
fox and blue hare), and a very high proportion of the others
have been introduced by man (deliberately or accidentally). The
British Isles have an extremely unnatural ecology.
