While there are about 1,300 known insect species, the Arctic fox is the only mammal know to have been native to Iceland. Polar bears drop by occasionally for a visit, and sometimes bats get blown over by the winds, but neither is known to breed there. There are no native or free living reptiles or amphibians in Iceland. Nowadays, there are Arctic foxes, mice, mink, rabbits, reindeer, rats, and seabirds such as kittiwakes, puffins, and skuas. Whales still pass by...
