Wild animals in Britain

EmilyGL

In the photo you can see wild red deer, in the Highlands of Scotland. These large red-brown animals, which feed themselves on grasses, lichen and other plants, are very shy and will run away if they see you or scent you. In winter though, the cold will make them come down closer to people's gardens to eat the plants there. The male deer is called a stag and has antlers. Animals that eat only plants are called herbivores.
 
Other wild herbivore animals in Britain include the wild pony, smaller than a horse. Ponies live in the moors of England and in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The ponies eat rough grasses and leaves with some other plants. Where they graze and feed, the ground is usually poor and rough. You might see some if you go on holiday to Devon or Cornwall.
 


Dormice are a large mouse that likes living in the woods and is found in the south of England - sadly the dormouse is now becoming rare because of the destruction of woodland and changes in climate. Dormice like to eat nuts, seeds and berries. In the autumn they eat well and build up fat. Then in winter, they make a little nest and curl up in it and go into hibernation - a kind of deep sleep where they can use almost no energy. Saving energy like this helps them to survive at a time where there is hardly any food around.
 

 
Next time, I will write a post about the meat-eating wild animals - the carnivores.
