We obtained data pertaining to all consignments of live non-domesticated animals (excluding CITES listed species and all fish) imported into the UK recorded on the TRACES database, via a Freedom of Information request to APHA. In relation to the taxonomic class and the actual volume of wild animals traded (Columbiformes and Galliformes aside), the highest number of individual non-CITES listed live animals entering the UK during this time period were amphibians (73.1%, n = 2,492,156), followed by reptiles (16.8%, n = 578,772), mammals (4.4%; n = 150,638), birds (2.9%; n = 99,111), and arachnids (0.03%; n = 1083).	./cache/cord-273284-1udq0roo.txt	./txt/cord-273284-1udq0roo.txt
