Autumn is nature’s final burst of urgency before the silence of winter. It’s a time of feasting, fattening, gathering, and moving — a wild race against the fading light. Across forests, skies, and riverbanks, animals sense the shift. Some prepare to disappear. Others travel thousands of kilometers. For a few, it’s the season to fight, mate, or rule. The colors change, the air sharpens, and everywhere life pulses with purpose. This is the great feast — and the wild is wide awake.
