Christmas Winter Wonderland – How Animals Survive the Winter

Winter casts a very special, magical spell. It’s a time for traditions and customs: snowmen come to life, people celebrate their winter holidays and wander through brightly lit winter holiday markets. But indigenous animal life pays no heed to these human traditions. For them, winter is a time of austerity. This video shows how squirrels, boars, lynx and other animals all have their own strategy for surviving the winter. But despite an amazing ability to adapt, the fight for survival is hard – and can often only be won with the help of human beings. The film takes us on a journey through wintry Germany - underscored by a childlike enthusiasm for the cold season. Snow-covered fairy-tale landscapes, unusual wildlife stories and touching tales about animals create a special heart-warming winter atmosphere that not even adults can escape. Contemplative, amusing and fascinating all at the same time, the film lyrically illustrates the charm of an enchanting Winter Wonderland. Age appropriate from those in high school to retirees.
All are welcome, as are questions and comments.
