What happened to the animals

Sable Island is a long, narrow sandbar all alone in the blue Atlantic Ocean, 160 kilometres east of Nova Scotia. It is made entirely of sand.

People have visited Sable Island for at least 500 years.

They brought mammals too - horses, cows, pigs, sheep, rabbits, rats, cats, dogs and foxes.

Only one kind of mammal has survived.
