Part 2/8:
As winter blankets the Alpine uplands, temperatures plummet to depths of minus 15 degrees Celsius, freezing rivers and lakes, and creating a dire struggle for survival among local fauna. The mute swan, strictly a vegetarian, finds itself facing challenges as submerged vegetation is difficult to access. In this harsh environment, scavengers like the common raven and white-tailed eagle thrive on the misfortunes of winter's grip. Ravens utilize their intelligence and social nature for survival, while the solitary eagle, with its impressive wingspan of up to 2.5 meters, resorts to scavenging and even preying on lesser birds.
