Fulufjället National Park offers excellent opportunities to observe many different mammal species!

The chance to see one of the stately elks (moose) - “king of the forest“ - is particularly great. It likes to munch on the vegetation in ravines and along the numerous streams. Piles of its droppings can often be seen, but are sometimes mistaken for those of bears.
Chances of encountering bears are greatest in the mating season during May-June when they are frequently on the move. In autumn, they eat berries from the bushes on the mountain slopes. It is fairly common to come across signs of a food-seeking bear in the form of an excavated anthill or a toppled tree. Some ten bears usually hibernate on Mt. Fulufjället.
Beavers swim along the waterways, where they often build large dams. With a bit of luck, one may also see minks and otters. The park guides are familiar with the haunts of the animals and can explain more about their lives and habits. 

In the spring of 2008 we discovered that the worlds largest falcon, the Gyr Falcon, was nesting in
Fulufjället National Park - on the cliffs right by Swedens highest waterfall! During early summer we
could follow how the four chicks hatched and the parents magnificent performances in the air as they
came to feed their young. In July the chicks started their flying practice and as they got more skilled
they were rarely seen by the nest.
