There are stone mines where bats hang out with pot-smoking teenagers and water voles thrive without water in Glaswegian parklands. Our coastlines are laden with seals. That's the good news. The bad news is that a quarter of British mammals are at imminent risk of extinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTim Kendall and Fiona Mathews take us on a safari unlike any other.
