Which animals are native to Poland?

We have tons of them.
They make excellent stew in the crock pot.

Yes, it is a melanistic variety of our red squirrel. Extremely rare. The one above was the second see in my life.


Your blacks are a subgroup of grey squirrels while mine of red ones.

@pawian
Ours don't have the long-feathered ears like yours do.
They are from the rodent family.

Those ears suggest a feline family coz they resembles lynxes.


It seems Americans eat everything that walks, jumps or flies. Like the CHinese. :):):)

They also cause terrible tularemia in those who eat them.

Come on, Americans are tough.

Is that why they eat squirrels raw?

All Americans?? I am sure Ptak makes nice stews of them when he hunts in the deep forest.

Wasps live in several places in the orchard while hornets somewhere else but must be close coz when I open the wine container outside, they appear instantly.

They aren`t really a nuisance but my family are afraid of being bitten while picking fruit on which stingy insects prey. But such a fruit bite hasn`t happened yet. I am bitten about once a week when I move wasp nests in the orchard during grass cutting or tree care.

It isn`t a problem at first coz the pain is short like sb put a needle into your body and instantly retracted it.
A worse reaction comes 24 hours later - the bitten part swells and becomes horribly itchy which lasts for about 2 days. I scratch it like crazy. That is why I try to avoid such close encounters with wasps.


I moved the wasp nest a few metres away from that young tree which I needed to prune. Can you imagine the wasps which resided there were so stubborn they didn`t go with the nest but stuck to the trunk instead? I had to put the job off for a few days.

It's a wonder you haven't developed an allergy to wasp venom yet.

I have been bitten a few times in my life before, first time in kindergarten. Probably I am immune to allergies of that kind.
Hey, I could develop it after all. This itchiness is sth new!

Wow, amasing controversy.
White-tailed Eagle, or Birkut
The white-tailed eagle is our largest bird of prey and one of the largest birds in Poland. It does not belong to the same genus as eagles and differs from them in many ways. For example, it is largely fish-eating. It owes its name to the white feathers on its tail. Many believe that it is therefore our heraldic bird, but there are doubts about this.

Baboons.

Yaaawn. Thank you Iron for this reminder. My Japanese sumo wrestler mattress is waiting impatiently for me...... :):):):)

Red deer fighting in the town under a road sign: one of them wanted to turn right while the other prefered to abide to law. And they quarreled.

A giant herd of bisons runs at full gallop across the road for 1.20 minute. Amasing! The noise they make sounds so wonderful.

Bears aren`t as common in Poland as in Romania or Russia or the USA, but still the chance of meeting them here is much higher than in Western Europe, let alone Britain.

A bear visited the outside restaurant in one of mountain shelters.
Comments:
I'll have one beer, please. Honey.
He is clearly waiting for apple pie.
Teddy came for breakfast.
The 'boy' sat down at the table.
Why wasn't mulled wine brought to him? He stands and waits, what a naughty behavior of waiting staff.
I'm not surprised he came. They have the best sauerkraut soup I've ever eaten there.
He is waiting for his number to be called to order.

Unfortunately, somebody released baboons into the wild.

Better into the wild than into public places like fora and others...... :):):):)

Which animals are native to Poland?

Gender-confused baboons...

Now you have given me a big laugh. Thanks. :):):)

Hey, Americans, you don`t know this bird species native to Poland. Ha!!!! You have no idea whatsoever.

Hoopoe aka dudek in Polish.

Dudek also carries the meaning of a naive fool in Polish which is surprising coz the bird is quite clever as you can see in the photos above.

We kńow them. They migrate there from hot countries. Occasionally they nest on the islands.

Hey, you are inventing things which don`t exist !!!

Not there, but to your country.

Yes, to England.

Ornithologists love them.

Good.
Be a good patriot of your country. So, no there, but England.
Remember what Horatio Nelson said before the Battle at Trafalgar????
