Nightcrawler

Most of the year I live alone. Often I go out at night. I cannot see well, but I can hear and smell very well. In spring, I follow a female's scent trail. When pups come, they stay with their mother for 2 years.

Good memory

Food search they learn from her. I am an omnivore. I eat mushrooms, fruits and roots but also insects, rodents, fish and meat . Sometimes I eat meat from animals that are already dead, this is called carrion. Because I have a very good memory, I remember the places where I once found food. Do you smell such a delicious morsel?
