Before the war, there were many foxes, hares, grouse, partridges and grouse in our Lokanyansky district, Velikiye Luki region; in some places there were roe deer. We didn't have wolves or raccoons. Now the number of hares, ducks, grouse, grouse and partridges in the area has significantly decreased. The question is, what is the reason?
Wolves and a raccoon appeared. Where martens and foxes live, you will not find game. In winter, in several places, I found the remains of hares eaten by wolves.
There are few trappers, and amateur hunters shoot more "easy game", and "difficult" (wolf, fox) it is not mined by them.

The White Sparrow
I've seen a white crow before, and I've seen white swallows twice. Recently, I noticed a white bird and got it from a flock of sparrows.
The attitude of crows, swallows and sparrows towards their unusually colored relatives remained normal. I did not notice any manifestations unfavorable for albinos.

Salt pans for ungulates
Deer, chamois, roe deer, and tours, the beauty of the forests and mountains of the North Caucasus, live in the southern gerlo-forest regions of Stavropol.
A rich harvest of berries, wild fruits and lush herbage create an excellent food base for animals. Ungulates experience only a lack of salt.
We had to observe how turks and chamois in the Marukh gorge came in herds to small salty springs and greedily licked the moistened soil and stones. There were entire trails and roads to these "animal resorts."
The State Hunting Inspectorate under the Stavropol Regional Executive Committee decided to lay artificial salt pans for ungulates. In 1956, 150 salt pans were laid along the Marukhsky, Teberdinsky and Dzhendzherik gorges, the gullies of Oleshikh and Bezhgoi of the Cherkess Autonomous Region, each containing 20 kilograms of salt.
Salt pans were laid out in specially made decks, in hollowed-out holes of stumps and in stones. This simple biotechnical measure saved the animals from long migrations, strengthened their bodies, and allowed the growing young to avoid rickets.
The laying of artificial salt marshes in the region, which began in 1Y53, contributes to the preservation of young animals and the rapid growth of the ungulate population.

The sly little fox
It was in August. After we finished marking the forest clearing for mowing, we sat down to rest. A fox cub emerged from the bushes. When he saw the people, he came within ten meters of us and sat down.
One of the foresters threw him a piece of bread. The fox cub took the bread and, running fifteen steps away, began to eat it. Then he approached us again. After receiving the second piece, the fox cub grabbed it and disappeared into the forest.
"He took it to his brother,— the foresters laughed.
