Research brief - research - animals native in scandinavia

denmark- Denmark is a natural home for various flora and fauna.  Mammals include several deer species including roe, red and fallow, foxes, hares, squirrels and more.  There is also an abundant bird life with more than 300 species recorded in the country.  In order to protect such wildlife, there are three national parks found within Denmark.  What is interesting about these parks is that they open all day, every day and are free to access.

Located in the Thisted Municipality, Thy National Park was established in 2007.  The landscape of this national park is varied with dunes, heath, forests and grasslands.  Lakes dot the landscape and the park even covers a small part of the Limfjord.  The northern part of the park is dedicated to Hanstholm Vildtreservat, a game preserve initiated in 1930.  This game reserve hosts many species of birds, as does the rest of the park

Sweden- The following are types of deer found in Sweden, red deer, fallow deer, reindeer, moose/elk and roe deer/western roe deer. All deer are herbivores. In the country of Sweden, the biggest mammal is the moose, also known as the elk. It is more commonly referred to as a moose in North America and as an elk in Europe. The hairs of the moose are grey-black and the legs are grey-white. They have a panned or webbed bulk antler from which extend thorn like tips. A male elk can weigh about 700kgs. Elks are found throughout Sweden and it is usual to view elks in the forests of Bergslagen (a dense forest in the central regions of the country). The red deer is one of the largest deer species in the world and can be found living in Sweden as well. The most common deer in Sweden is the roe deer. It is more likely to be found in the south and middle of Sweden and less in the northern parts. The roe deer weighs between 15 to 31kgs, and considered a small to medium sized deer.
