Müritzum calls for the night expedition: discover mysterious animals!

A special highlight for night owls will soon be on the program in the Müritzum. On June 20 and August 1, 2025, the Müritzum organizes the exciting fishing nights under the motto: "What flying around in the garden of the Müritzum at night?" These events are aimed at both small and large explorers and promises to ventilate the secrets of the nocturnal animals, such as Strelitzius

In close cooperation with Dr. Volker Thiele from the Entomological Association and the environmental artists of the Müritzum are offered a nightly discovery tour for the participants. Equipped with light traps, the guests immerse themselves in the fascinating world of insects and other nocturnal animal species. These experiences are particularly exciting because the night opens a completely different side of nature. It offers numerous living things that become active in the dark - from bats to owls to raccoons.

nocturnal animals and their adjustments

The world of nocturnal animals is full of surprises and fascinating adjustments. According to a report by Animals Around the Globe there are about 1,400 types of bitches, the only mammals really fly can. Thanks to their echolocation, they are masters of navigation in the dark.

owls, on the other hand, impress with their silent flight and their excellent night vision. These predatory birds are perfectly adapted to the night to catch rodents and other small animals. Raccoons, with their skillful front paws and the sharp night vision, can also be found in urban areas, where they play an important role in the ecosystem

Advantages and challenges of night activity

Nachtable animals not only bring advantages with them, but also face special challenges. Like animal joy , the darkness and special adaptation to this way of life enable less competition for food and a certain protection against predators. But only the successful hunting in low light and communication in the dark can also become a challenge.

From a biological point of view, nocturnal animals are of great importance. They act as pollinators and pest control and play an important role in the food chain and in the regeneration of the soil. Many domestic species such as hedgehogs and dormouse are also part of this fascinating group, while exotic species such as Aye-Ayes and Koboldmakis represent special highlights.

The fishing nights in the Müritzum offer the ideal framework in order not only to learn about these fascinating living things, but also to become active themselves and to experience the nocturnal nature up close. A good reason to invite the family and friends and immerse themselves in the mysterious world of the night!
