There are many species of wild animals in Norway, such as: moose, lynx, squirrels, snakes, wolves, foxes, deer, snakes, deer, birds, insects, bobcats, badgers, and bears.

Most of these animals are not dangerous as long as they do not feel threatened, especially during the mating and birthing seasons.

You can climb mountains, forests, forests, fjords without worrying about being hurt by wild animals.

Moose are the largest animals in the Norwegian forests. The adult male moose can be up to 240 cm tall and weigh 850 kg.

Many Norwegians who have hunting permits and licenses go hunting during the hunting season in autumn and winter.

Hunting elk with a dog (hound) is an old tradition. Norwegians consider it good training. Some of the elk hounds are born to be great hunters!

Do you know why moose have fur? The reason is that the fur keeps them warm and sometimes they even have fur on their horns! Such moose are sick and need medical attention. Moose can be very mean if they feel threatened! Some people say that moose are the rebels of the forest!

Reindeer or caribou hunters are good at finding caribou, smelling their scent in the air or following their tracks. In Norway there are several types of moose hunting such as:

posteringsjakt (in Norwegian): the hunters chase the animal following its tracks
smygjakt (in Norwegian): A hunter senses the presence of an animal.
drivjakt (in English: make noise): make some noises to send the animal to a place where the hunters wait patiently (this method is mainly used in southern Norway). Based on my observations, when deer hear your rattle, they respond differently! One, the leader (I assume) will come to investigate where the noise is coming from, two will run away, and seven will ignore it. Hunter’s patience and persistence are very important factors for success.

The animals of Trondheim are under the protection of the Norwegian environmental authorities.
Squirrels: They are everywhere in Norway, especially on top of the pine trees in the forest. Red squirrels (ekorn in Norwegian) live mainly in the upper north and Finnmark. They are very cute, but not as domesticated as the squirrels in the United States.

Lynx: Lynx in Trondelag can be found in forests and mountains. Sometimes they attack sheep which is unpleasant for farmers in animal production. They are wild animals but so beautiful. They live in central and northern Norway. They usually eat cat and other small animals.

Hares: They live in meadows and forests and their fur changes color with the seasons, brown in summer and white in winter. Hares live around Trondheim and other cities in central Norway.
Vipers: They were observed in Trøndelag. I have seen one in the north of Trøndelag in the mountains. If a viper bites someone, it gives the victim a little fever. Its poison does not kill at all. They eat mice and other small animals and bite if they feel threatened. In the summer of 2008 many vipers were discovered in the Jonsvatnet area of ​​Trondheim. That’s why people, especially runners and hikers, have been warned about vipers in those areas.

Wolves are not abundant in Norway. They are protected by the Norwegian natural environment. They live in the forest and eat small animals. They can also be found in the upper north and very few in the south of Trondelag.

Foxes and brown bears live in the forest. Brown bears (Bjørn) are few in Trøndelag, they live underground or inside holes.

Whale (Hval)
The whales live in northern Norway. They are faithful and beautiful creatures.
If you ever get the chance to travel to northern Norway, I suggest you try the whale safari (hvalsafari). You get incredibly close to them at a distance of 300 meters.
Scandinavian countries are the only countries that allow whaling, Norway started commercial whaling in the early 90’s. There are some arguments about whaling to keep the ecological cycle in balance as they feed on huge populations Of fishes. Whales are not in danger from their annual hunt in Norway
Birds (fugl): There are several birds in Trondheim. Some of them are very curious and beautiful birds. The Commontern in Norwegian Makrellterne (Latin: Sterna hirundo) is a seabird and lives in Europe, Asia and central North America. They are also called terns. They feed on fish and other small sea creatures. They live in colonies on coasts, islands and freshwater lakes. They are very romantic and affectionate birds. The male bird cares for the female by offering her fish, which is part of the courtship display. They reach an age of 23 years or more.

The oyster catcher in Norwegian Kjeld can be seen in different colors in the world. They are black or black and white.

They eat earthworms, insect larvae, and coastal oyster fishermen feed on gastropods and polychaete worms. Oyster Gatherers are monogamous and highly territorial birds, especially during the breeding season!
The male oyster fisherman is very playful and faithful to the female! They make their nests on the ground that can be placed in a place with good visibility.
Oyster fishermen’s eggs are delicious! Kidding! I don’t know how their eggs taste. Ok… back to the eggs. They lay one to four eggs and the females take care of the eggs while the males engage in further defense of the territory.
