Animals in Dutch

Video lesson 21 is about animals in Dutch. This lesson covers only the animals that live in the Netherlands outside zoos, such as pets and animals that you may meet in nature. Interesting fact: in the Netherlands there is political party for animals: “De partij voor de Dieren”, to favour the rights of animals and to protest against mass production of meat. In the elections of the last ten years, the number of votes steadily grows, reaching more than 4% in the European elections of 2014. In a later lesson, the more exotic animals will be covered.
