"1872-1912: A Glimpse into the Fascinating World of European Wildlife" Step back in time to the years between 1872 and 1912, when Europe's diverse wildlife thrived. From the elusive Mustela nivalis, also known as the least weasel, to the nimble Pipistrellus pipistrellus or common pipistrelle bat, these creatures enchanted observers with their unique characteristics. Delphinus delphis, commonly called short-beaked common dolphins, gracefully danced through the waves of European waters during this period. Meanwhile, Myotis mystacinus whiskered bats fluttered silently through moonlit nights, showcasing their remarkable hunting skills. On land, Erinaceus europaeus - western European hedgehogs - scurried about forests and gardens with their prickly exteriors providing protection from predators. Meles meles or Eurasian badgers dug intricate burrows beneath ancient trees while coexisting harmoniously with other woodland inhabitants. The enchanting red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) darted among branches high above ground level while Lepus europaeus or European brown hares showcased their incredible speed across open fields. Barbastella barbastellus or western barbastelle bats added an air of mystery as they roamed darkened caves and old ruins. And let us not forget about Mustela erminea – ermines – whose stunning white winter coats contrasted beautifully against snowy landscapes during this era. From tiny mammals like weasels and bats to majestic marine creatures like dolphins; from spiky hedgehogs to agile squirrels; Europe's wildlife in 1872-1912 was a tapestry of diversity and wonder that continues to captivate our imaginations today.
