On discovery tour: Vienna's fluffy hamster between graves

On discovery tour: Vienna's fluffy hamster between graves

The field hamster is a striking animal that is known for its combative nature despite its cute appearance. These small creatures are not only fascinating, but also an integral part of the urban ecosystem in Vienna. A recent exploration of the capital led our author to the unexpected habitats of this hamster, which can often be found between old graves and urban green areas.

The search for these striking rodents revealed the hidden world, which is taking place in the middle of our urban environment. The field hamster, a loner through and through, is known for living in hollow earth holes that he dug himself. These clever animals prefer to stay in areas with low human disorder, which often leads to a meeting between nature and urban life.

Feldhamster in the city

The way of life of this hamster is often shaped by its aversion to disorders. You will find a retreat in Vienna's protected zones, such as marginalized cemeteries or quiet parks. These environments not only offer a habitat, but also a source of food, since the hamsters feed on different plants and seeds. Interestingly, the hamster populations here are not only vital members of the urban ecosystem, but also sometimes irritate residents who are worried about their spread.

It is remarkable that despite their aggressive nature in territorial behavior, many people recognize the beauty and value of these little creatures. The sight of a field hamster that runs around the graves can appear strangely, but shows the remarkable adaptability of these animals in a rapidly changing environment.

Feldhamster are not only part of the local fauna, but also a symbol of nature that continues to thrive in the middle of urban life. Their presence reminds us that in a city like Vienna, in which concrete structures dominate, there are places where the wildlife can bloom. As part of our exploration, the hamsters and their habitat should not only be protected, but also understood.
