Jungle Fever

In Vejle we have some very exciting fauna. Vejle is surrounded by forests and therefore we have had the opportunity to go photograph some of the animals just for you! Like in South Africa we have sanctuaries, but instead of elephants and lions we have squirrels, deer and foxes. We make a great effort to preserve these animals, except from during hunting season. Our fauna is - like faunas all over the world - controlled by the climate. Because Denmark is located "very near" the northern pole our climate isn’t that warm. Therefore our animals aren’t that exotic.

We've decided to take
pictures of deer and ducks in the sanctuary in Vejle called ”Dyrehaven” which means ”the animal garden”. We also took some pictures of the inlet of Vejle, which as you can see is frozen and covered in snow. As you can see in the pictures it’s very cold outside at the moment. There has been snow on the ground since 16 December. The snow makes it hard for the animals to find food, but in the sanctuaries they have no trouble finding something to eat, because they are fed by the keepers.
By the time you read this most of the snow on the pictures has gone, because the temperature is finally above 0 degrees centigrade.
