Around 48,000 animal species live in Germany. In addition to old acquaintances such as deer and hare, there are also numerous unusual species found in the wild.
Moose is actually associated with cold countries like Sweden. Flamingos fly to the Dutch Rhine-Meuse Delta to overwinter. The first golden jackal was spotted in Germany in 1997. The reason for this is probably global warming as the wolf feels most comfortable in warmer climes. The European pond turtle is the only wild turtle in Germany and there are only a few copies left.
