Here is a European mink who has clearly a productive start of the week!
Mink is a predatory animal of the Mustelidae family. It is under the threat of extinction and is listed in the Red Books of many regions of Russia. Minks live both in water and on land, so they settle near water bodies. They are excellent swimmers. They feed on fish, mice, frogs, snakes, waterbirds.
"I threw a pike to the mink in the hope that it would be there a little longer with a big fish and would pose for me. However, it grabbed the pike by the tail and run away into its hole."
Location: Bashkortostan, Baymaksky district.

A unique monograph with the first annotated list of species of vascular plants in Land of the Leopard National Park is created.

The natural diversity of Land of the Leopard National Park is unparalleled in the entire Russian Far East. This was confirmed by new data obtained by specialists at the Botanical Garden-Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences: https://www.rgo.ru/en/article/scientists-count-plants-land-leopard-national-park-first-time

“Undoubtedly, the south-west of Primorye is the richest territory of the Far East in terms of the diversity of vascular plants. The number of species growing here is more than 40% of the flora of Primorsky Krai and about 25% of the diversity of the entire Far East,” said Elena Marchuk, deputy director for research at the Botanical Garden-Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
