When it comes to wildlife, Norway does not exactly follow the same pattern as other European countries. With its combination of Arctic landscapes, the North Atlantic Ocean, and dense forests it is the perfect habitat for many animal and plant species. The nature in Norway has to put up with a changing climate. In summers the temperatures are agreeable and the days are long and filled with light. In winter, however, it is freezing and almost nothing grows in the short dark days and the country is covered in snow.
The habitats of the flora and fauna in Norway include mountains, tundra, lakes, rivers, sea coast, and wetlands. The country has a very long coastline which is protected by skerries (small rock islands) and fjords. The vegetation in Norway includes forests, wetlands, heats, and bogs. Typical flora are the Norway spruce and pine but at a higher altitude you are able to find trees like downy birch, aspen, and grey alder as well. Even higher, the trees make way for rock, tundra, and ice as the climate is too severe for large trees or plants to grow. You can find mountain grasses, and plants as mountain avens. Furthermore, Norway has over 20,000 species of algae, more than 1000 species of mosses and over 7000 species of fungi.
The total number of plant and animal species living in Norway is over 60,000, with a lot of different species of insects, birds, fish and mammals. The main mammals you can find on the mainland are the hedgehog, bats, hare, beaver, wild boar, and deer. Also, carnivores like the brown bear, wolfs, foxes, lynxes, and otters have found their place in the Norwegian environment. The coast is often visited by animals as the walrus, seals, whales, and dolphins. Many of the birds in Norway are migratory as in winter the days are too short and it is too cold. Many birdwatchers visit the country each year to try and catch a glimpse of the clown faced puffin. Other bird species include skuas, gannets, white-tailed eagles, and razorbills. In the most Northern part of the country, Svalbard, you can even find polar bears.
With its great natural diversity, it is no wonder that Norway is the perfect destination for countless of (outdoors) activities.
