Wild animals in winter.

Respect your boundaries!

Hibernation - this is the most important factor for wild animals in winter. Our native animal species have adapted to the harsh winter days. Changing their fur, lowering their body temperature, adapting to the scarcity of food and passively warming up in the sun are just some of their survival strategies. Disturbances in their habitats can quickly make the difference between life and death. So respect your limits!
