Don’t go straight to the zoo just because it is easy. It is far more rewarding to see
animals in the wild.

But where do you nd wild animals in Sweden? Where in Sweden can you see
Moose? And is it possible to nd a Wolf?

To help you out, I have compiled this list of ten wild animals in Sweden and
where to see them.

Let’s begin with Moose!

MOOSE IN SWEDEN
Moose can be found all over Sweden,
but they can still be di cult to nd. If
you travel through Sweden, don’t
expect to see Moose everywhere.
Your biggest chance is to see them
from your car window, but it is always
more impressive to meet a Moose
while walking through a forest.

How to see Moose in the wild:

• Moose spend most of their time

in dense forests but during
Summer evenings they venture
out into open areas in search for
food, and that is where you have
Photo of Moose in Sweden: Marie Mattsson
a chance to see them! For the
best chances to see moose
during the Summer, simply drive
around to various elds and
meadows.

• If you are hiking, walk in silence.

• You don’t have to go deep into

the forest to nd moose. Moose
that live close to villages and
towns are used to people and
therefore less shy.

To make sure you see a Moose in

Sweden you can join a guided Moose
Safari

FACTS ABOUT MOOSE IN
SWEDEN

• Scienti c name: Alces alces

• Height: 170 – 210 cm (at

shoulder)

• Weight: 200 – 360 kg
(female), 380 – 850 kg (male)

• Lifespan: 12 – 25 years (but

most are shot at early age)

• Population in Sweden: The
Summer population is estimated
to be 300,000–400,000 moose.
Around 100,000 are hunted each
Autumn.

• Natural predators: Man
(hunting + tra c) Wolf, Brown
Bear.

>> More facts about Moose in Sweden

(https://www.wildsweden.com/about/
the-wild-animals/facts-about-moose/)

Moose is the largest species of the

deer family. It can be found all over
Sweden except on Gotland and the
outer islands. Sweden has a denser
Moose population than any other
country. Although hundreds of
thousands of Moose inhabit Sweden
they can still be di cult to see in the
wild.

Their diet consists of both terrestrial

and aquatic vegetation. Unlike most
other deer species, moose are solitary
animals and do not form herds. The
calves stay with their cow during their
rst year.

/
 WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN MOOSE AND ELK?

Well, this is a hard one, so read

carefully.

The photo here shows a Moose (in

American English) but it is also
an Elk (in British English). Yes, Moose
and Elk are the very same
species. However, in North America
there is another member of the Deer
family, the Wapiti, which is also called
Elk. So, the American Moose is the
same as the European Elk. But the
North American Elk is not the same as
the European Elk. Confused? Here’s
another way to say it: There are two
di erent Elks, but only one
Moose. And that’s the reason why I
call it Moose.

The Swedish name for Moose is Älg.

BEAVERS IN SWEDEN
Where to see Beavers in Sweden:
Beavers are common in the central
parts of Sweden and can be found in
most rivers and lakes. There are less
beavers in the Northern parts of the
country and not many beavers South

Photo of Beaver in Sweden: Anders Öhlund

of Stockholm.

How to see Beavers in Sweden:

Beavers are nocturnal and aware of
humans. They always live close to
water, so you need to look for them in
a lake, river or stream. Beavers have /
no natural enemies in the water, so if
you are in a boat, they don’t recognize
you as a threat. In this way you can
get a lot closer without disturbing
them.

Are there beavers in this lake? The

easiest way to nd out is to look for
their characteristic gnaw marks on
trees. Aspen and Birch are their
favorites. The next step is to look for
a Beaver lodge and if you are in a
stream you can look for a dam. If you
see fresh sticks on top of the lodge or
dam then you know that the Beavers
are around.

The best way to see them is to wait

near their lodge at around sunset.
Stay still at a respectful distance. Be
quiet. Have patience. There is a good
chance that they will suddenly show
up in the water in front of you.

Dusk and dawn is when they are most

active.

To make sure you see them you can

join a local guide on a Beaver Safari
(https://www.wildsweden.com/tours/
beaver-safari).

FACTS ABOUT BEAVERS IN

SWEDEN

• Scienti c name: Castor ber

• Weight: 11 – 30 kg (Adult)

• Body length: 80 – 100 cm

(without tail)

• Tail length: 25 – 50 cm

• Lifespan: 16 – 24 years

/
 • Population in Sweden: The
population is estimated to be at
least 150,000.

• Natural predators: Man
(hunting + tra c), Wolf, Lynx

The European beaver is a species of

beaver, which was once widespread
in Sweden, but it was hunted to near
extinction by the end of the
nineteenth century. It was hunted
both for fur and for castoreum, a
secretion of its scent gland believed
to have medicinal properties.
Between 1922 and 1939
approximately eighty individuals
were reintroduced into Sweden from
Norway.

Since the reintroduction the Beaver

population has increased to an
estimated 150,000 Beavers and it is
now returning to much of its former
range.

WOLVES IN SWEDEN
The Scandinavian Wolf population is
concentrated to the Southern parts
of Central Sweden, which means the
counties of Västmanland, Örebro,
Värmland, Dalarna and Gävleborg.
There are rarely any Wolves in the

Photo of Wolf in Sweden: Glenn Mattsing

Northern half of Sweden, nor in the
very South.

How to see Wolves in Sweden:

Wolves are elusive and di cult to see
in the wild. You may have to search
/
for years without succeeding. They
move over vast eras and are well
camou aged. Most of Sweden’s
Wolves live in densely forested areas
with limited viewing conditions which
makes it di cult to see them even if
they would be close by. They also
move long distances each day which
makes it di cult to keep track of
where they are.

Hearing the Wolves howl is not only

more likely, but perhaps more
rewarding than seeing one. You can
join a professional Wolf tracker for a
guided tour in a Wolf territory
(https://www.wildsweden.com/tours/
wolf-howling-tour).

FACTS ABOUT WOLVES IN

SWEDEN

• Scienti c name: Canis lupus

• Height: 80 – 90 cm (at shoulder)

• Weight: 35-45 kg (female), 45-55

kg (male)

• Body length: 140-180 cm (with

tail, male), 140-165 cm (with tail,
female)

• Tail length: 50 cm (male), 35-40

cm (female)

• Population in Sweden: The
population is estimated to be
400 – 500 (Winter 2014/2015).

• Predators: Man (hunting +
tra c), other Wolves

Wolves were hunted to extinction in

Scandinavia during the 1800’s. But
since the 1980’s when a few wolves
managed to walk in from the Russian-
/
 Finish population they have returned
to the fauna and still recovering.
There are now about 300-400 wolves
in Sweden.

The Grey Wolf weighs males

averaging 50 kg, and females 40 kg.
Its winter fur is long and bushy, and is
usually mottled gray/yellowish in
color.

The Grey Wolf is one of the world’s

most well researched animals, with
probably more books written about it
than any other wildlife species. It is
the sole ancestor of the dog, which
was rst domesticated in the Middle
East.

BEARS IN SWEDEN
Bears can be found in the Northern
two thirds of Sweden. Central
Sweden with Dalarna, Gävleborg and
Jämtland are the most densely
populated areas with Bears in
Sweden, perhaps even in Europe.

Håkan Vargas
How to see Bears in Sweden:
European Brown Bears are shy,
peaceful and very di cult to see in
the wild. Some people are lucky to
spot bears as they feed on grass and
herbs in open meadows and elds
during May and June, before the berry
season has begun. Others may see
/
bears in the mountains when they
feed on berries during late Summer
and Autumn.

To increase your chances to see bears

in the forest, go with a professional
wildlife tracker. These Brown Bear
watching tours (/summer-
tours) gives you good chances to
watch and photograph Bears in the
wild.

FACTS ABOUT BEARS IN

SWEDEN

• Scienti c name: Ursus arctos

• Height: 100 – 280 cm, up to 135

cm to the shoulder

• Weight: 60 – 100 kg (female) 100

– 250 kg (male)

• Lifespan: 20 – 30 years

• Hibernation
period: October/November –
April/May

• Mating period: May – June

• Breeding period: January –
February

The Swedish Brown Bear population

has grown to a number of at about
3000 individuals, distributed across
the central and northern parts of
Sweden.

Adult bears generally weigh between

100-300 kg for males and 60-200 for
females. Bears are very shy and do
not attack people, but should be
respected and kept at a distance. The

/
 most common way to see a Brown
Bear is from these Brown Bear photo
hides in Hälsingland (/summer-tours).

ARCTIC FOX IN SWEDEN

Arctic Foxes can be found in the
mountains of North-Western Sweden,
particularly in the alpine areas of
Jämtland, Västerbotten and
Norrbotten.

How to see Arctic Fox in Sweden:

Most Arctic Fox populations are found
Photo of an Arctic Fox in Sweden by Nicolas
Néreau
in remote areas that can’t be reached
by car. One of the hotspots worth
mentioning is the Helags mountains
in Härjedalen. Helags mountain
station o er guided tours to watch
for Arctic Fox at their dens where you
can expect to see them. Another
place worth checking out is
Stekenjokk between Jämtland and
Västerbotten. During Summer you
can drive across this area on the
Wildnerness Road to search for Arctic
Foxes and other wildlife.

FACTS ABOUT ARCTIC FOXES

IN SWEDEN

• Scienti c name: Vulpes lagopus

• Length: 50 – 85 cm (plus tail 25-

50 cm)

• Weight: 3 – 8 kg

• Lifespan: about 5 years

/
 • Population in Sweden: A few
hundred. The Arctic Fox
population has increased lately
but varies greatly from season
to season depending on access
to food which mainly consists of
lemmings and other rodents.

• Natural predators: Red fox.

The arctic fox is also known as the

white fox, polar fox, or snow fox. It
has a deep thick fur and is well
adapted to living in Arctic
environments. They form
monogamous pairs during the
breeding season and usually stay
together in family groups of multiple
generations in complex underground
dens.

White and blue foxes: Arctic Fox

comes in two di erent color
variations, one called white and one
called blue. The white variation is
white in Winter and grey with brown
back, legs and face in Summer. The
blue variation has a blueish-gray fur
throughout the year. Both colour
variations can exist in the same litter
if the parents have genes for both.
The white foxes are well camou aged
against the snow and therefore better
adapted to survive. Most of the Arctic
Fox in Sweden are of the white
variation.

WOLVERINES IN
SWEDEN
/
 Most people seem to think the
Wolverine is a cartoon or movie
character. It is perhaps the least
known mammal in Sweden.

Photo of a Wolverine by Erik Mandre Wolverine can be found primarily in

remote reaches of Sweden’s
mountainous regions. Like in
Norrbotten, Västerbotten and
Jämtland, but now also further South
in the forested regions of Dalarna and
Hälsingland.

How to see Wolverines in Sweden:

Well, it is not going to be easy. Most
people see them at a distance by
chance while skiing or snowmobiling
in the mountains during Winter. They
are easier to spot against the snowy
white background. Bring binoculars.

In recent years the Wolverine

population has spread South-East
into the forested regions of Central
Sweden, namely into Dalarna,
Värmland and Gävleborg. One of the
Southernmost populations of
Wolverine is in Gyllbergen in Dalarna.
The reason they return to these
regions is likely thanks to the Wolves
comeback who leave a lot of leftovers
for Wolverines and other carnivores.

FACTS ABOUT WOLVERINES

IN SWEDEN

• Scienti c name: Gulo gulo

• Length: 95 – 100 cm

• Height: 40 cm (at the withers)

• Weight: 12 – 18 kg (male), 8 – 12
kg (female)

• Lifespan: 10 – 12 years
/
 • Population in Sweden: An
estimated 600-700 individuals.
The population has grown in
recent years and also spread
South to forested areas in
Central Sweden like Gävleborg
and Dalarna.

• Natural predators: Man
(protective and illegal hunting)

The wolverine is the largest

terrestrial member of the weasel
family. It is a larger cousin to otters,
weasels and mink. The wolverine has
a broad head, small eyes and short
rounded ears with dark brown fur,
and often has a lighter-colored face
mask and stripe running down both
sides of its body. The wolverine is
powerfully built and has short legs
with wide feet for traveling across the
snow. The wolverine is a good tree
climber and also a good swimmer.

The Wolverine has a reputation for

being greedy, but it is actually quite a
bad hunter. Wolverines are
opportunistic feeders which means
they eat a variety of foods depending
on availability. They primarily
scavenge dead animals. However,
they do take down animals much
larger than themselves, including
Reindeer, when snow conditions are
in their favor.

Wolverines are territorial animals

and defend large, gender-exclusive
territories. Male and female
territories overlap each other, and
they have strong family bonds. Young
wolverines are called cubs or kits. The
cubs keep to the mother until spring
arrives the year after they were born. /
 A male wolverine will interact with his
cubs even after they have struck out
on their own.

Female wolverines give birth during

winter in dens that provide security
and a bu er to cold winter
temperatures. These dens are
generally tunneled through snow and
are associated with uprooted trees,
avalanche debris, and boulders, often
in remote alpine cirques above tree
line.

LYNX IN SWEDEN
Lynx is perhaps the most di cult
mammal to spot in Sweden. Few
people ever get to see a Lynx in the
wild.

Good news is that Lynx can be found

all across Sweden. Some of the more
Lynx family in Sweden
densely populated areas are actually
around Stockholm in Sörmland and
Uppland and in Bergslagen.

How to see Lynx in Sweden: Lynx are

most active around dawn and dusk,
especially during early mornings.
That’s also when most people tend to
see them. If you walk through the
forest and a Lynx sees you as a
threat, the Lynx will likely climb a tree
and wait for your to pass by. So it may
be a good idea to look upwards once
in a while as you stroll through the
woods. But driving around peering
across elds and meadows around
sunrise is probably your best bet. /
There are certain areas where you
may have a bigger chance to actually
spot a Lynx, but these areas are often
kept a secret to avoid having too
many people visiting. To visit one of
these secret spots you can join a Lynx
watching expedition in Swedish
Lapland
(https://www.wildsweden.com/tours/l
ynx-expedition-wild-lapland).

FACTS ABOUT LYNX IN

SWEDEN

• Scienti c name: Lynx lynx

• Length: 90 – 110 cm

• Height: 60 – 75 cm (at the

withers)

• Weight: 20 – 28 kg (male), 15 – 20
kg (female)

• Lifespan: 10 – 14 years

• Population in Sweden: An
estimated 1250 individuals.

• Natural predators: Man
(hunting + tra c)

The Lynx is the largest cat animal in

Europe and the third largest predator
in Sweden after the Brown Bear and
Wolf. It is the largest of the four lynx
species in the World.

It is a strict carnivore, consuming one

or two kilograms of meat every day.
This extremely e cient hunter uses
ne-tuned techniques to bring down
animals even larger than its own size,
delivering a fatal bite to the neck or
snout of an unsuspecting deer. In

/
Northern Sweden Reindeer is their
main prey while Roedeer is their main
prey in the South.

The Lynx has powerful legs, with

slightly longer hind limbs adapted for
springing. The large ears are adorned
with conspicuous black tufts, and the
long cheek hair hangs down to form a
facial ru , appearing almost mane-
like in winter. The coat is long and
extremely dense, especially over the
winter, and is more variable in
colouration than in any other felid.

The Lynx males are inhabiting large

home ranges, within which one or
more females reside. While female
territories tend to exhibit little
overlap, male territories often
overlap to some extent, although
males normally avoid each other. The
lynx uses various scent marks,
including urine, faeces and scrapes to
mark territory and also to
communicate with neighbours.

During mating season, usually by mid-

March, both the males and females
call to each other frequently.

Towards the end of the gestation

period, which lasts 67 to 74 days, the
female nds a sheltered den to give
birth to 1 – 4 kittens. At three months
old the young are weaned and begin
to accompany the female, eventually
leaving just before the next mating
season.

Wild Boar piglet in Sweden by Jan
Nordström
WILD BOAR IN SWEDEN
Wild boar or Wild pig are two names
for the same species.
Wild boar can mainly be found in the
Southern parts of Sweden. You can
nd more or less dense populations
of Wild Boar in the Stockholm area
and all the way down to Skåne.
Södermanland is a good place to go if
you want to see them in the wild.
How to see Wild Boar in Sweden:
Wild boar are shy creatures and
rarely seen in daylight. Dusk and
dawn o er the best chances to see
them as they visit elds and
meadows in search of food. Boars
remain hidden in the protective
vegetation during the day.
FACTS ABOUT WILD BOAR IN
SWEDEN
• Scienti c name: Sus scrofa
• Weight: 80 – 175 kg (Adult)
• Body length: 55 – 100 cm
• Lifespan: 15 – 20 years
• Population in Sweden: The
population is estimated to be at
least 300,000.
• Natural predators: Man
(hunting + tra c), Wolf
After two hundred years of absence
the Wild Boar has made a strong
return into the Swedish fauna. The
species has a long history in Sweden
which began more than 8,000 years
ago. Wild boar was hunted to
/
extinction, but was reintroduced in
captivity. After several escapes during
the 1970’s – and 1980’s, the wild
population has increased in various
parts of southern Sweden and is now
estimated to over 300,000. The
population is still growing at a fast
rate as they populate new regions of
Sweden at a steady pace.

An adult boar is about 1 meter in

height and just over 1.5 meters long.
The sow (female) usually weigh over
100 kg, while the boar (male) is
heavier and can weigh over 200 kg.

The tusks in the lower jaw are sharp

and shaped for grazing. These teeth
are less developed in sows and
piglets. The tusks have open roots, ie
they grow throughout the animal’s
lifetime.

The Wild Boar are social animals and

live in groups of sows with piglets.
They usually live in groups of
between 6 and 20 individuals,
although larger herds have been
seen. When a female piglet reach the
age of one and new piglets are born,
they leave the sow and form their
own groups. They can later rejoin the
original group – with or without their
own piglets – and thus form even
larger ocks. The group is led by the
oldest sow. This dominant sow leads
hikes, decide where to search for
food and protects the o spring. Male
boars that are older than two years
live as loners except during mating
season.

/
 Most matings occur in August to
December. Swedish research has
shown that about 85% of births take
place during the months of February
to May, but piglets can be born at any
time of the year. Their data also
suggest a small birth peak in August-
September. In most cases, the sow
gives birth to only one litter in a year.
The size depends in part on the sow’s
age. A young sow gives birth to an
average of 3-4 piglets, while one who
has reached the age of three breeds
5-6 and sometimes more.

Boars are omnivorous, but most of

the feed (about 90%) consisting of
vegetables. Although it primarily
feeds on fruits, seeds and roots, the
Wild Boar eats a wide range of foods
including some animal matter and
scavenging from roadkills and the
Wolves’ leftovers.

In some areas, they cause damage to

trees and crops. But their rooting also
favor the spread of many plant
species and may lead to more rapid
nutrient cycling in forest soils.

OTTERS IN SWEDEN
Want to see an Otter? They’re great
little creatures!

Most Otters live by the rivers in

Northern Sweden, but the population
is also increasing in the South. Most

Otter in Sweden
/
otters live near fresh water, but can
also live in marine environments
along the coast.

A known hotspot for Otters in the

wild is at Gysinge bruk by river
Dalälven in Färnebofjärden National
Park where you may be lucky to see
them playing on the ice during
Winter. As with most mammals they
are mainly active at dusk and dawn.

FACTS ABOUT OTTERS IN

SWEDEN

• Scienti c name: Lutra lutra

• Weight: 3 – 11 kg

• Body length: 50 – 100 cm + tail

28 – 55 cm

• Lifespan: Up to 22 years

• Population in Sweden: 1500 –
2000

• Threats: Chemicals, tra c

An adult female Otter weighs

between 5 – 6 kg, an adult male
weighs about twice as much. Males
are about 1 meter long and the
females around 90 centimeters, with
the tail.

It has a sleek brown fur, which is

often paler on the underside, and a
long body with a thick tail and short
legs. Adaptations for an aquatic
lifestyle include webbed feet, the
ability to close the small ears and the
nose when under water, and very
dense, short fur which traps a layer of
air to insulate the body. Many
sensitive hairs frame the snout which
help the otter to locate prey. /
 Otters feed mainly on sh, but frogs
are also an important food source.
They can also eat cray sh, birds and
small mammals.

The otter have a rich social life and is

often playful.

Breeding can occur throughout the

year; one or two cubs are usually
born in a den known as a holt, and
ten weeks later the cubs emerge
above ground with their mother.
Female Otters care for their o spring
for about a year. but it may take the
cubs up to 18 months to learn to sh,
and females have ben observed
helping this learning process by
releasing live sh for the cubs to re-
catch.

The Swedish Otter population is rising

again after it was close to extinction
in the 1950’s, which was probably due
to environmental toxins and
especially PCBs. It is now recovering
and increasing in numbers. The
population in Sweden is estimated to
1500 – 2000 individuals. Today, tra c
is a bigger problem.
