Observation of small predators (early winter)

Try to find out where the animal hides. Describe the nature of his asylum. At the entrance to the burrow, as well as on site conventional manhole animal put kapkanchik or trap that can capture the beast alive. If we manage to catch the animal intact, plant it in a sturdy wire cages for observation of his habits. Try to get an exact sketch prints of his traces on the board with soft clay. A dead animal will learn exactly the structure of legs and try to determine the type of animal on the book by NA Bobrinsky ("The determinant of hunting and fishing beasts of the USSR, KOIZ, 1935). If it's not in your possession, remove the peel and send together with the skull to determine the nearest museum of local history, an alliance of hunters, the organization of nature conservation, the Zoological Museum of any university.
