abstract |
In 2023–2024 and by early 2025, during the planned survey of the Bugsky Gard NNP territory and background monitoring, a number of cases of encounters and findings of some carnivoran species were recorded, including those of the wildcat (Felis silvestris), weasel (Mustela nivalis), wolf (Canis lupus), jackal (Canis aureus), and raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides). These data complement the picture of the dynamics and distribution of carnivorans in the region. Information is provided on the distribution and population status of a number of Cerviformes species, including the native wild boar (Sus scrofa) and European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), as well as the introduced red deer (Cervus elaphus). The article describes the occurrence of the European elk (Alces alces) in the southern territories of Mykolaiv Oblast. |
