Scandinavia's Hidden Paradises - Nature Documentary

High in the north, in Swedish Lapland, mighty moose feel at home. In the east, near the Russian border, Lake Saimaa in Finland is home to one of the rarest seal species in the world. Gotska Sandön is the most remote place in the southern island paradise of the Baltic Sea. In the west, mountains and fjords dominate the landscape. Today, arctic foxes live again on the Hallingskarvet plateau. In all these places, nature conservationists are working with great enthusiasm for Scandinavia's hidden paradises.

Watching humans who take care about nature and animals gives hope for the future of this wonderful planet .

[@mayyyaMe]

Se many commenting on the fact that the narrator says “elk” and not “moose”. They are both correct when talking about the species in a European/Scandinavian setting. It would probably have been better to say “European Elk” instead, because North Americans use the word “Elk” for a different species.

Sigh. Why can't documentaries get it right Scandinavia is ONLY Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Norden on the other hand is Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland Norden and Scandinavia is not the same thing

[@BirdBath1]

I do

[@get.factual]

Hey there! In English usage, Scandinavia can refer to Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, sometimes more narrowly to the Scandinavian Peninsula, or more broadly to include Åland, the Faroe Islands, Finland, and Iceland.

[@Temptation666]

@@get.factual What English speaking countrys THINK is not necessary right. It is as me saying Canada is part of USA. No of cause it is not. Just because I and a bunch of other none American/Canadian people think something in that part of the world is right, makes no truth. We do not live there. Neither do you clearly live in Scandinavia. Scandinavia is not and will never bee anything else than Denmark, Sweden and Norway unless WE change it. Danish, Swedish and Norwegian people has a lot in common. We are in many ways sisters and brothers. Finland is not at all like us. Im not saying they aren't wonderful because they are. But we got very little in common. Scandinavian languages and Finish does not even steam from the same source. Finish derives from Uralsk language familie. We are basically very different people all the way back to the first migrations when the Ice age enden.

Enjoyed the varied and high quality information presented in this video. The producers covered many different animals and what they are doing for them to ensure their future. Elk that were darted in this video looked healthy and well fed. They seem to be able to move through the deep snow without to much trouble, there long legs help a lot. In the US and Alaska we call these largest animals of the deer family Moose. The Majestic Elk are found in many parts of the Western US mostly in the Mountain areas.

[@nicholas8390]

Wow. They even have Elk that look like Moose

[@gottelandet]

I think you should translate ÄLG to MOOSE. But since the word elk and sv. Älg are so similair people mix them up.

[@garthrasmussen2868]

Those white elk might have another advantage. I think they might not get as hot in the summer because the sun won't heat them up as much as the dark furred elk.

[@boots2831]

In Canada , a white bear is known to the indigenous as a spirit animal I'm sure it's the same over there for the Sami.

[@commentsdisabled2320]

Absolutely, especially white reindeers. They are very rare and the Sami never slaughter them, but instead keep them in the herd as a lucky charm

Elk and moose are two different animals. In scandinavia there is only moose.

In Scandinavia there is Elg, often called Elk, but most certainly not moose.

@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 10:45 pause the video here and look at the title of that browser window. It says *_Moose info windows._* 10:52 Pause the video here as well and look at the top left of the map window. It says: *_Moose Tracking_* PS: I'm norwegian so yes I know Elg is the norwegian word and älg is swedish, and you can never directly translate from one language to the other. Just do a google photo search of Moose and look at that compared to what animal you see in this video as well. I've seen moose with my own eyes in the country I live in and that's the same animal as in this video.

[@Amos71415]

I think the word for moose/elk in Swedish is 'älg'. Te narrator if he had done a bit of research could have specified that. I've been in the Swedish Arctic but I've only encountered reindeer

That’s not true.elk is the true name for this animal. A French explorer back in the 1500’s North America didn’t know one from the other and that’s where the confusion started. What we call elk,the Native name is Wappatti. This spelling may be wrong.

There’s a reason that elk and moose are 2 different words!

[@politicallycorrectredskin796]

Yes, one word is Norse, the other Anglo-Saxon. It's the same animal. A lot of English synonyms are like that because of the messy British history. There are even words that are Norse but went out of use in Scandinavia, continued to be used in Britain, and were finally borrowed back into modern Norwegian. An example of this is the word "bag". Norwegians use that word now after having borrowed it from English, but it's an old Norse word originally.

[@paulkendra5504]

@@politicallycorrectredskin796 So which one is it?.... Lol

[@politicallycorrectredskin796]

@@paulkendra5504 Which what? They are synonyms in English. Norwegian just has one word, elg, which is used about the Scandinavian animal and the American one. The word 'elk' comes from that word obviously, which is an Old Norse word. The word 'moose' is or is derived from the Anglo Saxon word for the same animal. I guess the American elg is a subspecies. But a Norwegian would just call it an American elg. We have no second word we try to use on that subspecies in confused fashion. They are all just elgs who are vemmelige to hit when they cross the road.

[@MorganCane76]

Abit confusing this about Moose and Elk. Actually, It's Moose in American English. Elk in British English, Elgur in Icelandic, Älg in Swedish, Elg in Norwegian and Danish. The American Elk(Wapiti) which is similar to our Kronhjort is called Vapitihjort in Swedish and similar in Icelandic, Norwegian and Danish languages. I guess Wapiti deer or Red deer in British? Moose comes from native American Language btw.
