During the last ice age, the snow bunting was widespread throughout continental Europe. It is the most northerly recorded bird in the world. It measures 15 cm with a wingspan of 32-38 cm (13-15 in) and weights 30 to 40 grams. 

Taking a rest and enjoying the fantastic alpine panorama of the Swiss mountains.

The Franches-Montagnes, is a horse breed from Switzerland, (Jura region), with presence that traces to the year 1619. It was widely used as draft and pack horse in the Swiss army. It has a good disposition and is versatile, suitable for both driving and riding. 

If care work were fully paid, it would be the biggest sector of the world economy. The pandemic has had a very negative effect in precisely this area with women paying the price. The extra workload of childcare and home schooling weighed more heavily on women than on men. Men have more than 70% more assets than women. Women also have much less social security and are less often eligible for a pension, almost 85% of those who receive no pension at retirement age are women.

The clear mountain air offers uninterrupted views plus deep insights. Pause for a moment, take a deep breath, and feel yourself calming down and relaxing. 

As much as 80 percent of Emperor Penguin colonies are threatened with extinction by the end of the century if we continue to emit greenhouse gasses at present levels. For Emperor Penguins, the primary impact of global warming is the loss of sea ice, their essential habitat. The species depends on the ice that extends out from the shore (known as “fast ice”) as a home base for breeding and raising chicks...

A fireball is an exceptionally bright meteor that reaches a visual magnitude of -3 or brighter when seen at the observer’s zenith. Objects causing fireball events can exceed one meter in size. During the atmospheric entry phase, an impacting object is both slowed and heated by atmospheric friction. In front of it, a bow shock develops where atmospheric gases are compressed and heated. Some of this energy is radiated to the object causing it to ablate, and in most cases, to break apart. 

Most bluebirds move out of the northernmost areas of their range in winter. Even ones that may linger eventually move on, once their berry sources are depleted or ice-covered. For bluebirds, and many birds, there is a trade-off of staying more north in order to be first to claim prime breeding territories, yet risking survival due to bad weather. Some of these tips may help them survive: 1. Bluebirds can roost together in bird houses to keep warm...

The Rain in the Alps exhibits the changing of the seasons while capturing a thunderstorm, after which light shone through creating a colorful rainbow.

While it's fun to invite your family to spend quality time together, it's also a significant aspect of your physical health and mental well-being. Put down the phone, gather together, and create some fun, meaningful memories. 

Snow feels nostalgic, taking us back to a simpler, sweeter time. It gives off relaxing vibes and even in our most stressful moments, a fresh snowfall maintains an almost supernatural power to calm us down. Snow is so peaceful because it absorbs sound, so when a fresh blanket of snow covers the landscape, it absorbs many of the sound waves, making it seem quieter outside. 

This breed was originally present in the Bavarian Alps, mainly in the Berchtesgaden zone. These animals perfectly adapt to the rigid conditions of the high mountains, thanks to their hard hooves, sure-footedness, incredibly hardiness, and good resistance to climate change. Their breeding contributes to the conservation of the traditional landscapes of mountain pastures that are found in the highest regions where cows and other breeds of sheep do not go.

The snow petrel is a small, pure white fulmarine petrel with coal-black eyes, a small black bill and bluish gray feet. Body length is 30–40 cm (12–16 in) and the wingspan is 75–95 cm (30–37 in). Flight is erratic with frequent changes of direction. Most of a snow petrel’s fishing is done close to the surface, with only shallow dives being used for pursuit. They can reach speeds of up to about 40 km per hour. Once paired, snow petrels remain with the same mate for life. 

Unicorns are thought to be good and pure creatures with magical powers. Their horns have powers to heal wounds, sickness and to neutralize poison. The unicorn symbolism is linked to purity, freedom, gentleness, virginity, innocence, divinity, and magic with super-speed and super-strength. 

Sunset, something completely intangible, has the power to stop the time on people and remind them just how beautiful life is when you choose to see it. 

The snow red squirrel is one of the most familiar of wild animals, so much so that many people don’t even think of them as “wild.” Wherever it goes, seems to be loved as a small, cute, furry creature and the native northern European red squirrel is to be distinguished from the American squirrel, which is a different species. One of the distinguishing characteristics of the small red squirrel of Europe is its tufted ears. 

Snow geese pair for life and associate in flocks called gaggles. Simple nests are built on the ground. The rough-surfaced, whitish eggs are incubated for about a month by the hen while the gander stands guard. The downy young fend for themselves almost at once but remain with their parents during the first summer. Geese may survive for 10–15 years in the wild. These migratory birds winter in limited localities far south of their breeding grounds...

The Fallow Deer is a European native species of deer with an impressive rack of antlers (males) and striking appearance. It has a graceful appearance, which along with its placid temperament has made it a popular parkland deer. During the winter months the coat is much darker in color than the summer coat and the flank spots disappear. The winter coat is molted in spring around April or May. 

With its large cities, modern infrastructure network and extensive areas under intensive agriculture, Europe seems an unlikely place for a large carnivore comeback. This comeback, especially with regard to wolves, shows the amazing resilience of these animals; populations are returning in a human-dominated landscape. During a time where biodiversity is in crisis globally, Europe’s carnivore comeback offers a contrast and a positive outlook for species conservation and human wellbeing. 

The mute swan is native of Eurosiberia. The name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species. Mute swans nest on large mounds that they build with waterside vegetation in shallow water on islands in the middle or at the very edge of a lake. They are monogamous and often reuse the same nest each year. 

Trees, like all living things, need protection from winter’s advances as the harsh conditions can cause them significant damage. The most common winter tree dangers include the following conditions: sun scald, foliar damage to evergreens, root damage, mechanical damage from snow and animal damage...

While exact body temperatures vary from species to species, all wild birds have a higher body temperature than humans. Birds are able to adapt and use their instincts to make it through the winter months. Migration is one obvious way that birds manage the winter months. However, not all species do it – as you’ll realize by the numerous birds that stick around in your backyard even after the first snow hits...

Snowshoe hares change color from brown to white in the winter so they can be camouflaged in the snow. According to climate projections from global warming experts, the duration of snowpack will be about a month shorter by midcentury and up to two months shorter by the end of the century. Predation already accounts for 85-100 percent of mortality in snowshoe hares...

The golden eagle is a bird of prey living in the Northern Hemisphere. These birds are dark brown, with lighter golden-brown plumage on their napes. Immature eagles of this species typically have white on the tail and often have white markings on the wings. Golden eagles use their agility and speed combined with powerful feet and large, sharp talons to hunt a variety of prey. Golden eagles maintain home ranges or territories that may be as large as 200 km2 (77 sq mi)...

The comeback of the European bison happens to be one of Europe’s most heartening wildlife recovery stories. When the last wild European bison was shot in the Caucasus in 1927, there were only 54 European bison left alive, all in captivity. It is from this low point that the European bison has slowly but surely inched its way back, supported by various breeding programmes and reintroductions, with the first bison released back into the wild in Poland’s Białowieża Forest in 1954...

Earth’s magnetosphere protects the planet from the electrically charged particles pouring from the Sun. However, it is only partially effective. Giant whirlpools of plasma can form along the flanks of our magnetic shield, boring into it and are generated by the solar wind sliding past Earth’s magnetic field in roughly the same way as wind blows across the surface of an ocean...

 The black-capped chickadee hides seeds and other food items to eat later. Each item is placed in a different spot and the chickadee can remember thousands of hiding places. Every autumn black-capped chickadees allow brain neurons containing old information to die, replacing them with new neurons so they can adapt to changes in their social flocks and environment...

 The Eurasian brown bear has brown fur, which ranges from yellowish-brown to dark brown, red-brown, and almost black in some cases; albinism has also been recorded. The fur is dense to varying degrees and the hair can grow up to 10 cm in length. The head normally is quite round in shape and has relatively small rounded ears, a wide skull and a mouth equipped with 42 teeth, including predatory teeth...
