The animals of the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park

From conspicuous to invisible

Nature has created a lot of animals. Many of them are secretive, so they are very difficult to observe or only come out at night. Some are just very small or hide under bark or in caves. But in any case, the natural dynamics in the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park and the consistent protection of the habitats in it means there is high biodiversity here. And that's not all. Many rare animal species are also found here.
