Trivia: What is the only mammal native to Iceland?
Arctic fox
Icelandic sheep
Puffin
Icelandic horse
The correct answer is Arctic fox
So why is this answer correct? : While Iceland is famous for its otherworldly geological formations, its native wildlife is a different story. In fact, it only has one native land mammal: the arctic fox, a mammal that came to the island way back in the last ice age, navigating on foot across the frozen sea to Iceland. A number of “Icelandic” mammals on the island were brought over and domesticated by settlers, including Icelandic sheep and Icelandic horses.
