Native animals from Germany

Answer 1

The most common and therefore most dangerous animal is the wild boar. The wild pigs are often used to people and are not afraid of humans, they will often come into the cities and villages and raid garbage cans. If you are on a camping site and hear some funny noises, do not go and investigate! Female pigs with young can be very vicous and their tusks can rip severe wounds.

Brown bears and wolves used to be native to Germany and there have been instances where a bear and a 2 packs of wolves migrated into Germany. But in the case of the young brown bear nicknamed "Bruno" he was shot shortly after entering Bavaria from the Alps, plus the press followed him day and night so people were never in any danger from him. The 2 small packs of wolves near the Polish border that are native to Germany live on military training grounds that are closed off to the public. They also have been subjected to hunting by prejudiced forest keepers. There has never been any threat from these wolves to humans and the majority of people in the villages around the training grounds don't mind the wolves.

Another big hunter native to Germany is the lynx, but it is so shy that seeing one is a sign of luck. Nobody has ever heard reports of a lynx attack on humans.

There is also a poisonous snake, the Kreuzotter or European Adder (vipera berus). This snake is very very rare and not very dangerous, a healthy adult would get very sick for up to a day from a bite and then everything would be fine. Children and old people would need to see a doctor. Instances where people have died from a bite are even rarer than the snake and were usually linked to some pre-existing medical condition like kidney or heart problems or allergic reactions.
