🌿´´Weasels, foxes, hedgehogs, otters and other wildlife gather mainly in the wetland areas of Corfu´´🌿
Here are some of Corfu´s wildlife animals:
🌲Hedgehog-If you are walking around the island or driving home at night, or even in your own back yard, you have a good chance of coming across a hedgehog.
🌲Bats-Bats are everywhere on Corfu, only very few people see them!
🌲Marten-One of the fiercest predators of Corfu is the Beech marten or Stone marten. In Greek it’s called “kounavi” and it’s no bigger than a cat;
🌲Mole- barely ever seen, as it spends almost all its life underground;
🌲Boar-There aren’t many, but there are still wild boars in Corfu. They are more towards the south of the island. They live in the mountains and come out at night;
🌲European Otter- this semi-aquatic mammal can be found in river, streams and places like Erimitis, however, they are endangered;
🌲Birds of prey-Corfu is home to several species of birds of prey, including eagles, falcons, and owls. Plenty of times you can find owls on the roads at night down in the valley. Eagles, falcons and hawks you can find up in the mountain on the trails and you’ll see them up in the air looking for prey;
🌲The red fox was primarily found in the island's rocky northeast
