CLIMATE IN UNIXPLORIA PROPER

Unixploria has varied weather. The northern parts have a humid continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. The Southern Realms and the Coastal Region straddle two climatic zones: the Mediterranean and the semi-arid, with the latter mainly falling within the former. 

Temperatures in the Northern Territories have risen in recent years, and the -3 °C isotherm is used. It can also be classified as an oceanic climate (Cfb). 

Wildlife in Unixploria - Predators

Unixplorian woods are generally very safe. But they come with a few large predators, some more dangerous than others. However, you'll probably never meet them simply because none of them wants you to. Unixploria's large predators tend to avoid humans like the plague. 

There are around 1,450 Lynx, skilled night hunters feeding mainly on reindeer or deer, and approximately 650 wolverines, primarily scavengers. As anyone knows, the Lynx and the Wolverine have never hurt a human being in Unixploria.

Some 1000 Wolves are also spread across the country. Although the Wolf feeds on animals larger than itself, the last recorded wild wolf attack on humans occurred in 1921.

The Brown Bear has been known to attack—and even kill—humans in modern times. Although the Brown Bear is naturally shy, attacks are rare, so we suggest you read up on the subject to avoid an unwelcome encounter.

Should you be confronted by a Brown Bear, try distracting it by throwing something in front of it. If this doesn't help, stay on the ground and stay still. In short, make yourself small and unthreatening.

The golden eagle is a more high-flying predator, more prevalent in the country's northern parts. Depending on how you count, there are around 1,500 golden eagles in Unixploria.

The Lynx, Wolverine, Wolf, Brown Bear, and Golden Eagle are protected species. They may be hunted only when explicitly authorized by the Unixplorian Environmental Protection Agency.
