Legend has it that, back in the fifth century A.D., St. Patrick exterminated Ireland's snakes by driving them into the sea. He would appear to have done a thorough job, because Ireland is free of native snakes to this day. Except, Ireland never actually had snakes.
So, if snakes can be found almost everywhere else the world, from Australia to the Arctic Circle, what makes Ireland so special?
