Forestry calm the beasts

At this time of encounter with a bull-moose is unsafe. Elk during the chase came in great excitement, become combative. Tirelessly crisscrossing them in the woods in search of elk, and occasionally uttering the call of the roar. Roar of this dull, abrupt and short, can be heard for two miles. For any other male elk, he sounds a challenge and leads him into a rage. Rivals seek out each other and if they are roughly equal in strength, enter combat. Opponents rush at each other, trying to topple to the ground, knock down, hit the horn. Pugnacity elk at this time is so great that, as they say, they butt even bushes, beat hooves, in a word, in every way showing his irritation. In this state, elk able to attack any animal was encountered in the forest, and even, albeit rarely, in humans. In a highly excited state, there are also male deer whose rut is in late August and September. Bear at this time is, on the contrary, in a very peaceful mood and generally satisfied with the vegetarian table: eating berries, cloudberry and other berries, climbs to the mountain ash. In damp meadows eats the seeds of marsh grechishki, obshmygivaya lips to her ears of corn. Do not miss a chance to regale honey of wild bees, which are zealously looking in hollows of trees, and sometimes fan of a visit to the forest and an apiary, where can get honey from the hives. In mid-September, he moved to the oak forests and groves, and it fills the belly acorns. He diligently eat off them, and much fatter, nagulivaya lot of fat. Fat is necessary for it as for the animal, which flows into hibernation. A thick layer of fat - are those stocks that make bear lies quietly in a den during the entire five-plus months without taking any food. It is interesting to note that only the fall of a bear comes the ability to fatten. In summer it is not zhireet even with very heavy feeds. In the autumn the same accumulates fat and feed the poor. In the same way as the bear, put on weight in the autumn a lot of fat badger. By late September, the badger starts to fade. " This means that he grows a long white undercoat, giving the fur a lighter shade. In September, the young badgers are completely self-sufficient and live and feed separately from the elderly. After the autumn moult badger fur becomes thicker, warmer and acquires value. Begins the hunt for badger and September is considered the best month for it. By the autumn molt zakapchivaetsya wolves and foxes. Foxes go into the fields and dig burrows are from mice, voles, and in the south and gophers. Extermination of rodents, fox is of great benefit. Catch squirrels and mice, sometimes away and the wolf. But the hunt for him more chance. He usually strives to catch something bigger. In populated areas of its prey, but birds with one stone, it is mainly small livestock. At this time juveniles are also beginning to hunt, but not alone, but together with the elderly. Now-a-family and fold those flocks that live together, hunt joined forces and are clearly a danger, even for large ungulates.
