They're stout animals, with blunt, rounded heads, fleshy, mobile snouts, and coats of thick, cylindrical or flattened spines which are mixed with long, soft hairs. Their powerful tail helps them to balance when they are in the tree tops. They eat bark, leaves, conifer needles, but also roots, stems, berries, seeds, nuts, grasses, and flowers. Some might even eat insects and small reptiles.Subscribe to wocomoWILDLIFE: goo.gl/L5puvQFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/wocomo© 1977, licensed by Albatross World Sales#porcupine #wildlife #animals
Pika shows off its cute alarm call while collecting food for long, cold winter wocomoWILDLIFE 2023-01-11 | Excerpt from "Die Unauffälligen der Rocky Mountains" (Tiere vor der Kamera | Episode 06/49)Click here to watch the full documentary (in German): youtu.be/xtbnm2NLhTEWatch all the episodes of "Tiere vor der Kamera" here (in German): bit.ly/Tiere_vor_der_KameraThe pika can be found in Asia and North America and is a small, mountain-dwelling mammal with short limbs, a round body, an even coat of fur, and no external tail. Apart from their round ears their appearance is quite similar to a rabbit, which are also their close relatives. This fact and also their high-pitched alarm call when they're diving into their burrows is the reason why they're called whistling hares. They prefer rocky slopes and graze on a range of plants, mostly grasses, flowers and young stems. Throughout autumn, they pull hay, soft twigs and other stores of food into their burrows to eat during the long, cold winter.Subscribe to wocomoWILDLIFE: goo.gl/L5puvQFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/wocomo© 1977, licensed by Albatross World Sales#pika #wildlife #animals

Newspaper editors, Hollywood producers and publicity-seeking big game hunters spread the tale of the murdering, bloodthirsty grizzly bear. Horror stories always sell well. On the other hand, bears are a symbol of cosiness, a heraldic animal and a mythical creature, and are widespread in children's rooms as cuddly teddy bears. But how do these contradictions fit together, murderousness and teddy bears?Bears are not aggressive. If they can, they will avoid potential trouble. And also wildlife filmers.

His territory is usually several square kilometres in size and it feeds mainly on small animals including insects, spiders, tarantulas, centipedes, scorpions, mice, small birds, and especially lizards and snakes.

Costa Rica: 1300 Hunde finden Unterschlupf im Tierheim Territorio de Zaguates wocomoWILDLIFE 2021-01-12 | In Costa Rica, in den Bergen der Provinz Heredia liegt ein einzigartiges Tierheim, das Territorio de Zaguates – „das Land der Streuner“. Über tausend Hunde leben zeitweilig auf dem 150 Hektar großen Gelände – unter freiem Himmel und ohne Zwingerhaltung. Hunde auszusetzen oder im besten Fall einfach abzugeben – Alltag in dem Land an der Karibikküste. Bei Lya Battle und ihrem Mann Alvaro Saumet haben schon zigtausende Hunde Zuflucht gefunden – die Vergessenen und Verstoßenen, die Kranken und Alten, aber auch viele gesunde und junge Hunde, die ihr Leben auf der Straße fristen. Mit einer ausgeklügelten Idee versucht das Team die Tiere zu vermitteln – im Fokus steht dabei die Einzigartigkeit der Mischlinge, denn kein Hund gleicht dem anderen. Abonniere wocomoWILDLIFE: goo.gl/L5puvQFolge uns auf Facebook: facebook.com/wocomo600 Kilogramm Futter fressen die über tausend Hunde jeden Tag – dazu kommen Tierarztkosten und unvorhersehbare Ausgaben für immer neue Baumaßnahmen, die staatlichen Behörden ihnen auferlegen. Bis zu 45.000 Dollar braucht das Tierheim - pro Monat. Kein Tier wird abgewiesen oder eingeschläfert, Weitervermittlung in ein liebevolles Zuhause steht im Vordergrund der Bemühungen. Wer nicht vermittelt wird, bleibt. In Costa Rica gilt ein Hund nicht viel – viele leben von Geburt an auf der Straße, ebenso viele werden ausgesetzt oder zurückgelassen. Weil der Staat nichts unternimmt, gibt es viele private Initiativen, vor allem wenn es um Kastrationsprojekte geht, um die Population der Straßenhunde einzudämmen. Auch den Initiatoren des Territorio de Zaguates geht es in erster Linie um Hilfe für die Tiere, aber auch um ein Umdenken in der Bevölkerung. Und darum, ein Bewusstsein für das Leid der Straßenhunde zu schaffen. So entstand die Idee einer einzigartigen Imagekampagne: „Razas Unikas“. Die Kampagne erfindet neue Hunderassen: Aus den besonderen und oft einzigartigen Merkmalen der Mischlinge entstehen die lustigsten Namen, und viele traurige Hundegeschichten fanden so ein Happy End. Wie schaffen es Lya, Alvaro und die vielen Helfer, mit der täglichen Herausforderung, so viele Tiere zu versorgen, umzugehen?Ein Ausschnitt aus der GEO-Reportage "Costa Rica, das größte Hundeheim der Welt"Klicke hier für die ganze Folge: youtu.be/5N1mFKBBFLg

Les animaux sauvages de nos forêts - Un voyage des Vosges du Nord à lIle-de-France wocomoWILDLIFE 2020-12-16 | Renards, marcassins mais aussi cerfs, mésanges et écureuils sont tous à la recherche perpétuelle de stratégies pour survivre à l’envahissement de l’homme sur leur territoire. Ce somptueux voyage nous mène des Vosges du Nord à l’Ile de France en passant par la Haute-Marne, pour tenter de mieux comprendre et surtout respecter les besoins des animaux de nos forêts.Abonne-toi à la chaîne : goo.gl/L5puvQSuis-nous sur Facebook: facebook.com/wocomoGuidée sur le terrain par des biologistes passionnés (ONCFS, MNHN, INRA), Emma Baus et son équipe parviennent à filmer la faune sauvage en liberté. Instant magique du brame résonnant dans la forêt embrumée, rencontre attendrissante avec de petits écureuils proches des humains ou des marcassins friands de maïs, découverte de la mésange charbonnière prédatrice de chenilles processionnaires et du renard, efficace chasseur de campagnols... Notre pays est parsemé de forêts, autant d’écosystèmes auxquels s’adapte la faune dans un fragile équilibre. Depuis 50 ans, le reboisement a favorisé certaines espèces comme le cerf ou le sanglier. Mais les autoroutes et voies TGV fractionnent leur domaine. Et la forêt n’est plus si tranquille : en plus des traditionnels forestiers et chasseurs, elle est aussi traversée de marcheurs, VTT ou 4/4. Alors, quel est le juste équilibre entre les cerfs et l’exploitation forestière ? Les écureuils roux peuvent-ils survivre à l’apparition d’espèces exotiques sur leur territoire comme les perruches ou les écureuils gris américains ? Pourquoi les chenilles processionnaires progressent-elles vers le nord ? Et pourquoi le nombre de sanglier a-t-il quintuplé depuis 20 ans ?Parce que l’émerveillement est le premier pas vers le respect et la protection, c’est en adoptant le point de vue des animaux que le film répond à toutes ces interrogations.Titre original : À côté, dans nos forêts Un film documentaire inédit d’Emma Baus© 2016, Licensed by CPB Films#wocomoWILDLIFE
