The black and white Indri opens its yellow button eyes attentively and listens intently. It sits on all fours and waits for its turn. The Indris’ famous morning songs in Madagascar have just begun. Of course it wants to join in! Every morning, the friends sing beautiful, melodic songs. They can be heard up to two kilometers away. They enjoy singing. They also use song to mark their territory and communicate with each other. Shh, the concert is about to start!

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.

Hyasintaraen klamrer seg rutinert til barken på treet. Med de kraftige klørne og ved hjelp av nebbet klatrer papegøyen raskt opp trestammen. Jeg lurer på hvor den er på vei? Ah, den har sett noen deilige nøtter som henger høyt oppe i treet. Det er noe av det beste den vet. Den vakre hyasintaraen har knallblå fjærdrakt med gyllengule hudpartier rundt nebbet og øynene. Det står i vakker kontrast til fjærdraktens fargespill.

Japanmakaken ser så vennlig ut. Det ser nesten ut som om det vesle røde ansiktet smiler, der den skakker på det bustete hodet hodet sitt: «Har du en godbit til meg?» Hvem kan stå imot noe så søtt? Som alle aper er også makaken glad i fersk frukt. Hvis frukten er søt, som bananer, blir den enda mer begeistret. Japanmakaken er nysgjerrig og sosial og liker å få nye venner. Når den har blitt kjent med deg, får du sikkert lov til å klappe den på den tykke, lodne ryggen.

Den majestetiske elgkua passer godt på den lille kalven. Han får die flere ganger om dagen. Moren må spise rikelig med ferskt gress for å holde på kreftene. På jakt etter en frodig eng strekker hun den lange mulen i været og snuser. Når hun kjenner lukten av saftig gress, strener hun av sted med lange skritt gjennom skogen med kalven på slep.

Grizzlybjørner er høye, sterke dyr, som kan bli opptil 2,4 meter høye og veie rundt 450 kg. De har en slags pukkel på ryggen og sterke bakbein. Grizzlybjørnen kan løpe i opptil 55 km i timen. De lever alene og kan ofte opptre aggressivt. Noen ganger samles de ved elver og innsjøer for å fange laks. Grizzlybjørnen er altetende og spiser fisk, planter og store pattedyr som elg, hjort og svartbjørn. De er også kjent for å stjele mat fra ulver eller mennesker.

White-tailed deer have very good eyesight and hearing, but above all they use their sense of smell and speed.

With its typical black and white fur pattern, the giant panda is a real beauty. Its legs and shoulders are black, the back and head are white. Its small ears and muzzle are especially cute and the fur around the eyes are black. What a great look!

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.

Are hippos supposed to be here? There’s nothing to see. Yes, there!

Only the small ears and nostrils peek above the water. The hippo dozes comfortably there, cooling off. The African sun can be quite hot. The gray giant therefore prefers to spend its time in the water. Here it moves almost weightlessly – and with that massive body!

It only comes ashore at night to graze on a meadow. It lumbers along with its heavy body on short legs. But don’t underestimate it. The hippo can also move surprisingly fast on land once it gets going. Watch out!

Ages 3+.

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 polar bear’s habitat is the Arctic. In winter, the temperature there can drop to -50° Celsius. Although its fur coat appears white, its hair is transparent and hollow on the inside. The air inside these hairs is warmed by the sun, so that polar bears do not freeze even at icy temperatures.

The researcher loves going on field trips. There is so much to experience in nature! That is why his rucksack is always packed and ready for a new adventure. Right now, he is travelling through the Asian jungle. He is looking for Asian elephants. He looks through his binoculars and scans the area. There – between the trees, something moved! He looks closer and sure enough: slowly, a baby elephant emerges from between the trees. The researcher holds his breath in excitement. He has to stay completely still so he doesn't scare it away! From 4 years.

Å nei! Den lille triceratops-babyen har klatret opp på bokhyllen over sengen din igjen og vet ikke hvordan han skal komme seg ned. Heldigvis er dinosaurenes fallskjermredning fra DINOSAURS i beredskap. Redningspersonen klatrer rutinert ned, spenner fast den lille dinosauren tett inntil ryggen og hopper ut fra hyllen. Takket være den knallgule fallskjermen svever de to trygt gjennom luften og lander mykt på bakken. Jippi! Den lille dinosauren er reddet. Fallskjermredningen kan forresten nås døgnet rundt, på telefon ... Hva var nummeret igjen?

Steinbukken klatrer rutinert opp og ned fjellsidene. Den plasserer hovene med omhu og beveger seg lett og spenstig i det utfordrende alpeterrenget. Alpesteinbukken beveger seg mer selvsikkert enn noe annet pattedyr i disse traktene, og den klatrer lett opp til høyder på 3500 meter! Når steinbukken blir sulten, klatrer den vanligvis ned igjen, ettersom de frodige alpeengene med sine smakfulle urter som regel ligger i lavere terreng.
