The results
of research on marmot colonies near Homilshanski
Lisy National Nature Park in 2018–2021 are presented.
Their state and conditions favourable for their
existence are analysed. In two of the four colonies,
unfavourable dynamics of change were noted, the
reasons of which are unknown. In the other two colonies,
marmots feel well. In the settlements located in
the lower part of one of the ravines (Kononov ravine),
good conditions for the existence of marmots have
developed due to the constant grazing of cows, and
on the "Zmiyiv cliffs" due to the large
angle of the cliff. |
