From the Plains to the Mountains

Overview

Although Portugal is a country with a relatively small territory, the difference of landscapes is quite notorious. To the South of the Tagus river the forest is composed mainly by Cork Oak trees, and to the North of the Douro river, in the mountainous regions, the deciduous forests prevail. Due to this fact, the fauna that inhabits these areas is also quite different. In this episode we will follow some of the most iconic species of each of these habitats in some particular phases of their lives. Will the Bustard be able to find a pair to mate? What is a Cork Oak Forest? How does the Golden Striped Salamander reproduces? Who will survive the brutal confrontation between two Iberian Ibex? These are just some of the stories we will get to know in this episode of Wild Portugal.
