The American wolf lifts its nose to the wind and pricks its sharp ears attentively. Could it smell something? It calls the pack together with a howl – it’s time to hunt!

The wolf silently stalks its prey. It is not alone. It knows its pack is close by. Side by side, they roam the wilderness and surround their prey. They can even take on much larger bison. Together they are strong!

Ages 3+.

Faultier

Away! The squirrel darts across the forest floor so fast you only catch a glimpse out of the corner of your eye.

It leaps purposefully up the trunk of the hazelnut tree and higher into the fork of the branches. That’s where the tasty nuts are hanging!

It quickly plucks one from the branch and scurries back down the tree. In its hiding place, it gathers nuts for the winter. The squirrel is a true master at building food stores. And it’s so cute!

Ages 3+.

Koalas are quite the sleepy heads. They spend about 14 hours each day taking extensive naps. The rest of the time, they are busy eating eucalyptus leaves. They consume about a kilogram of them every day. They are very picky and will only go for 12 of the about 300 eucalyptus species.

Weißwedelhirsche sind sehr scheue Tiere. Wenn sie sich erschrecken, wedeln sie mit ihrem Schwanz hin und her.

Bei den Löwen gehen fast ausschließlich die Weibchen auf die Jagd.

Zebras leben in der afrikanischen Savanne und gehören zur Familie der Pferde. Jedes Zebra hat ein einzigartiges Fellmuster aus weißen und schwarzen Streifen. Sogar seine Mähne ist gestreift.

Das Muster dient der Tarnung, es verwirrt Raubtiere, wehrt Stechmücken ab, macht die Hitze erträglicher und hilft den Tieren, sich gegenseitig zu erkennen.

The bison is the largest mammal in North America and this bull here is a particularly beautiful example. He stands confidently on the lush meadow with strong legs, grazing with slow relish. Suddenly his head jerks up. Was it something he heard? The bison turns his large head to the side and looks out over the wide plain. Nothing there. He continues to graze on. This big guy is quite peaceful. But if he has to, he defends himself and his herd courageously. What you would least expect: He can even run really fast. Bison can reach speeds of up to 56 km per hour! Once they pick up speed, they hurtle towards their opponents like an avalanche of hooves. Fortunately, that only happens in an emergency.

Tigerjunges

The American elk stands still at the edge of the forest, gazing into the distance. It’s mating season – and he is showing off his best side.

He walks majestically through the tall grass, ready to impress a doe. His strong body and antlers make him a worthy leader of his herd. I’m sure he can win a heart there.

Ages 3+.

The agile saber-toothed tiger stalks its prey on silent paws. With its brown fur, it is perfectly camouflaged in the tall grass of the ancient savannah. Only the gentle rustling of the grass may give away its approach. Once it reaches its target, the big cat suddenly leaps from its hiding place, opening its mouth with a dangerous snarl. With a swift jump, it pounces on its prey. Save yourself if you can! Ages 3+.

Weißwedel-Hirschkalb

The African lion looks majestic.

He likes to show himself from afar, standing on a rock to scare away his enemies. Even now, he gazes alertly into the distance. Did he hear a sound?

He shows no mercy to attackers, as he must protect his pride. Anyone who comes too close can expect a fierce fight.

It is best to keep your distance and admire him from afar.

Ages 3+.

Bei ihrer Geburt haben Löwenbabys ein sandfarbenes Fell mit dunklen, kreisförmigen Flecken. So sind sie in der Savanne gut getarnt. In den ersten vier bis sechs Wochen bleiben sie in einem Versteck. Ab einem Alter von drei Monaten sind sie kräftig genug, ihrer Mutter auf Schritt und Tritt zu folgen.

Grizzlybär

The panda cub peers curiously out of its black shiny eyes. It stretches its fat head and wiggles its small, black ears a little. Was that something that it heard? Maybe it’s looking for its mother, the giant panda. Right now, she’s busy foraging in the bamboo forest. There are a few forests in China, where the panda cub feels at home. Just as well, because the little panda already loves to eat bamboo shoots.

The European tree frog only grows to a size of three to four centimeters. Although it is so tiny, it is hard to miss, because of its bright green color. Only the belly is light brown to cream colored. A striking dark brown stripe runs from its flat, broad muzzle past the eye over the entire side. That makes the tree frog easy to recognize. What a handsome guy!

The North Atlantic Right whale swims slowly through the sea with its small front flippers. It keeps its large body on course with its broad, transverse tail fin. It only travels around 8 km per hour. It swims slowly, because as it glides through the water, it filters small crabs and fish called Krill through the sieve in its mouth, which it then eats with relish. A full meal takes quite a long while for a giant like him. After all, the sea giant weighs up to 100 tons, so its appetite for krill is neverending!

The giant mammoth may look a bit scary with its impressive size and long tusks, but don’t worry – it is usually peaceful. This prehistoric giant prefers to use its long trunk to pluck leaves from trees and nibble on twigs. If you don’t get in its way, you can become friends with this Ice Age giant, whose woolly, thick coat is the perfect protection against the cold. Ages 3+.
