Sweden's most amazing wild animals 

I agree

Should have added some of our other birds like tjäder

Cool you are from sweden? Me and 2 other friends wanna go on a trip in the Woods for 3 days wild camping ! Do you have anny tips or tricks!? That we should know of ? Or a forest we need to visit ?

I also live in Sweden but have not seen a järv or lodjur

I live in the North, we can see wolverines from time to time, but we didn't think there were Lynx here until a man saw one near his reindeers

@@darkwolf4434 Tyvärr så kommer nog inte finnas järv så länge till.

@@himfromscandinavian5354 Nej, renskötarna har sin "skyddsjakt".

I've seen a lynx once, it was standing on the road and I drove towards it on a motorbike. It didn't move until I was meters away.

We had one in our local forest that would come and visit or garden from time to time but it got shot.

The predators need a lot of prey to survive. Say that a specimen of wolf or lynx need to hunt and kill a specimen of their natural prey every other day to not starve, that means for every predator born the population of whatever their natural prey is, the population of said prey need to increase by more than 180. That's why today's endangered predators can't rapidly recover their population number from being hunted commercially and by poachers.

@@OB1canblowme did you like your own comment?

And yet a lot of hunters think if we allow more wolves, the elk will "go extinct". Look at America, we could easily have 1000+ wolves in Sweden, both with size of the land, and the population density of people. BUUUT we don't, because of 1) Loose dog hunting, the Scandinavian way of hunting big game with the dog running miles away from its owner, and 2) Reindeer. Every single reindeer in Sweden is owned livestock, but they roam free like wild animals. So a private individual can't shoot a reindeer, but we are all forced to pay taxes to pay for the reindeer, a recurring fee to reindeer owners for having wolves on their land, and STILL we pay taxes for shooting any wolf that turns up on said land, even without hurting a reindeer! It's madness. Reindeer herding is only a few hundred years old in Scandinavia. It is not an ancient, native practice, and even if it were, wolves lived here for thousands of years before, they were only gone between 1878-1978. If our ancestors could live with wolves for thousands of years, so can we.

@@OB1canblowme No, the real reason is illegal hunting of our big predators, combined with licensed hunting that still manage to break the rules. The fact that lynx manages to reach a population of over 1k is pretty significant. Wolves need similar numbers, and new blood, to avoid inbreeding. Unfortunately, few new wolves makes it through the reindeer keeping Sami.

Stanna ett par veckor? Det tvivlar jag på. Lodjur är rätt så skygga av sig och rör ständigt på sig.

Jag mötte ett lodjur där jag har min brevlåda.. mitt på vägen, vi stod stilla och tittade på varandra i flera minuter, det var en mäktig upplevelse.. få förunnat.. ❤❤❤

I couldn't agree more. Now a days every video, no matter what the subject are, apparently needs a soundtrack. A nature film already have the most beautiful soundtrack by itself, and its totally free. I recommend Swedwoods and Bertram - Craft and Wilderness, and similar channels. They let the pictures and nature speak for itself. Saying that... this is a nice film though.

Disaster? What do you mean? Swedish wildlife is carefully controlled and hunted when needed.

Skansen. De ser ut som gigantiska teddybjörnar. Livsfarliga teddybjörnar. Jag har också lyckats se varg och lodjur där.

@@Ikajo vill ju se dom ute i det vilda inte i en tråkig djurpark

I heard that the Bjärv was extinct.

Somebody has to be ! Bad luck !

@@2msvalkyrie529 Heh, there are worse places.

It's elk. Elk, Alces alces, elg, älg, is the largest deer, the one with the big nose and bowl-shaped antlers. For some reason, English settlers in North America saw the Wapiti/Canada deer, Cervis canadensis, and decided "let's call it elk, even though the exact same animal is already here". "So what do we call the actual elk, here in America?" "Let's call them the native name, moose!" Makes absolutely no sense.

@@Aethuviel moose and elk is not the same animal.

@@mikaeljaneman1407 ...I just explained that. Read my comment again. ELK is the largest deer, found in Eurasia and America. WAPITI or Canada deer, is the North American animal.
