Last updated 31 May 2021: removed link to RSPCA articles.
This page is to a certain degree a miscellany of other articles and items that fall outside the category of reptiles, amphibians or mammals, or else are large enough to enclose them all or apply to each equally. It will be added to on a fairly sporadic basis, but hopefully some of the pages held here will provide useful information or interest to some people at least.
