Nature question: What does 25 degrees at the end of September mean for animals?
Gouda city ecologist Lukas Groen warns that unseasonably high temperatures disrupt animal rhythms, causing issues like bees struggling to find food and hedgehogs facing difficulties hunting insects buried deeper in dry soil. Groen advises against artificial feeding or watering, noting that such interventions prevent natural adaptation and may cause more harm than good as nature adjusts to the warm conditions.
