The Irish Hare is the most common mammal in the Parklands. Listed in the Red Data book as being an Internationally Important species it can be seen in large numbers in the Parkland’s scrub and grassland areas.
Also listed as an Internationally Important species, the elusive Otter has made its home in the drains and lagoons at Turraun and Tumduff Mor while shy Fallow deer have been seen in conifer forestry at Finnamores and Boora.

The nocturnal Badger is also found throughout the complex and although rarely seen evidence of their activity can be seen on snow-covered ground, for like the Fox they favour certain pathways, giving an indication of their territories.

The Parkland’s smaller mammals, such as Field mice and tiny Pigmy Shrews are also rarely seen, keeping themselves well hidden from predators such as Owls and Kestrel hunting overhead.
