Part 6/9:
As the seasons change, so too do the patterns of wildlife in Hamburg. The airport environment might seem unlikely for wildlife, yet it plays host to foxes, hares, lapwings, and skylarks. Here, the juxtaposition of a busy transport hub against the backdrop of thriving ecosystems reveals that nature can adapt remarkably well to urban lifestyles.
One of the notable aspects of Hamburg's wildlife is the presence of beavers that managed to thrive behind the dikes at Borghorster Brack, a small lake. These nocturnal creatures adjusted their rhythms to accommodate the tidal changes brought by the Elbe, allowing them to coexist alongside urban development.
