Our stage today is the Shiretoko Peninsula, which is registered as a World Natural Heritage Site. Our host will take a walk in the forest in search of animals unique to Shiretoko in early spring. During the 3-hour long walk, we encounter the Sika Deer and Siberian Flying Squirrel, who have survived the long and harsh winter. We then enjoy a superb view of the Sea of Okhotsk with its gently floating drift ice. We will also see rare footage of animals that make clever use of the forest and plains of Shiretoko to survive the winter.
