Red squirrel ( Sciurus vulgaris): This is a very familiar animal, as it’s the most widespread species of squirrel in the shady forests of Europe.It is a tremendously adaptive animal, inhabiting from lush forests to grasslands. Roe deer (Capreolus capreolus): This is the smallest deer in Eurasia and, unlike other species in its family, it’s solitary.The biggest threats it encounters are deforestation and hunting, as it’s considered to have exquisite meat. Grouse ( Tetrao urogallus): This is a threatened bird, despite its wide distribution throughout the European continent.Below, you can meet the most representative Black Forest animals: In addition, this forest has a natural park in which certain species of animals, some endemic, are protected. The flora and fauna of this place stand out for their variety. The maximum average temperature is reached in July is 19° C (66 Fahrenheit) and the peak of rains is reported during the summer. However, due to this vegetation itself, the humidity is very high compared to other places, especially in winter. The climate is purely mountainous, with few temperature variations between winter and summer thanks to the high plant density, which regulates it. Thus, to the west of the Rhine, there was a mountain range (the Vosges) and, to the east, the massif from the Black Forest. ![]() The geological origin of this forest is in a tectonic massif, which was divided leaving a trench through which the river Rhine runs. The most famous swamp in the Black Forest – and the most touristic – is the Schluchsee. It also has reservoirs such as the Nagoldtalsperre, Wehrastausee, or the Stausee Kleine Kinzig. The Kinzig river marks the border and the center of the Black Forest. It connects to the south with Freiburg and to the north with Freudenstadt and covers a total area of 6000 square kilometers (3700 square miles). The mountainous massif of the Black Forest begins in the Trifinio – a geographical point where Germany, Switzerland and France meet – and ascends 160 kilometers (100 miles) to the north of Germany, with a width of 50-60 kilometers (50 – 55 miles). Later, you can read more about this unusual ecosystem and its main inhabitants. The Black Forest has incredible biodiversity and the animals that live in it have had to adapt to an environment with low luminosity. If you are planning to visit this geographic location, you may be interested in getting to know the animals of the Black Forest. The density of fir trees and vegetation makes walks through this forest dark and gloomy, which has earned it its name since the time of the Roman Empire. ![]()
