The materials on the presence of game mammal species in the area of remote mountain settlements in Sambir Raion of Lviv Oblast were collected and summarised. The study was carried out in the territory covering the upper reaches of the Stryvigor River. The material was collected over a period of 13 years (2012–2024) and combines both the author's own observations and the results of a survey of local hunters, gamekeepers, State Border Guard Service officers, and local residents. Both recent records and observations from the late 20th century are described. The study showed that game mammals belonging to four orders are present in the study area: hares (Leporiformes, 1 species), rodents (Muriformes, 3 species), carnivorans (Caniformes, 12 species), and ungulates (Cerviformes, 4 species). |
