Wildlife and animals of Iceland

When the Vikings arrived there were hardly any animals to be found in Iceland with the exception of birds and the fish in the sea. The Vikings brought sheep, horses, dogs, cats and cows.

The Icelandic horse is world famous, with more Icelandic horses around the world than in Iceland. This is partly because it's illegal to import any foreign breeds, and Icelandic horses who go abroad for showing or breeding can never return home.The Icelandic horse is most famous for having 5 gaits, and the ongoing joke is that most Icelandic horses are actually ponies, since not all of them grow taller than 145 cm.
