Who would have thought that flamingos could be found standing in the water in Germany? Or moose roaming over pastures and parrots squawking in the forests? Many once rare animal species are now making a comeback in Germany. The wolf has returned, grey seals are enjoying the sandbanks of Helgoland and even the white-tailed eagle, which was almost extinct, can be seen soaring in the sky\u2026if you are lucky. Let us show you which wild animals you can observe where in Germany and how. Let\u2019s go on a little safari!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re Here, the Rhea!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Greater Rhea<\/strong> is a large flightless bird, originally native to South America. There is, however, also a wild population in northern Germany. Towards the end of the last century, three males and four females escaped near L\u00fcbeck. Capture proved to be impossible, so they rapidly reproduced in the wild. Don\u2018t be surprised if you meet one of the 600 ostrich-like birds that now roam in the floodplains of the River Wakenitz<\/strong> in Schleswig-Holstein<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
