Animals of Crimea are inhabitants of forests. Dangers in Crimea: plants, marine animals, insects, snakes Map of Crimea where Crimean animals live

Today in the Crimea there are 58 species of land mammals.

Fox

Lives in the Crimean mountains mountain fox, and in the steppe its subspecies - steppe fox. The main fox food is mice, gophers, hamsters, hedgehogs, bird eggs, and if you're lucky, then the birds themselves, hares and wild rabbits. And already completely without pleasure, from hunger, it eats insects, frogs, lizards, and even carrion. The need will force!

Neither a fox, nor even a wolf (which is believed to have long been absent from the Crimea) cannot be compared in bloodthirstiness with a tiny, cute and very funny, at first glance, caress. By the way, it can be tamed if raised in a house, and the weasel will sleep on a pillow near the head of the owner, make friends with a cat and a dog, bring fun to the family with its playfulness and tireless curiosity. The house where the tamed weasel lives will be absolutely clean from rodents and insects. It is a pity that in captivity this animal rarely lives up to five years. This animal is a real robber...! Whom does he not attack? It can be mice and moles, hares and rabbits, chickens and partridges, as well as a host of other animals - all this becomes the prey of a miniature predator.

During fox mating games, grooms claiming the attention of females walk in front of the chosen one on their hind legs, performing a peculiar and very amusing dance. People spied on him, then they themselves learned this dance, giving it the name foxtrot (“fox step”).

Belodushka

Belodushka we call the stone marten with white fur on the throat and on the chest. Elegant, graceful, beautiful white woman is a brave, voracious and incredibly agile predator, not alien, however, to vegetarian food. In summer and autumn, the marten is supplemented with thorns, hawthorn, pears and grapes. Unlike the common marten, the barnacle does not climb trees, but if it already climbs into a home chicken coop (usually in the middle of the night), then effortlessly, in a few minutes, it will strangle the entire bird family, restless with horror.

Badger- a peaceful representative of the bloodthirsty family of mustelids, which includes such indomitable predators as mink, otter, sable, wolverine, ermine, and from the Crimean ones - ferret, weasel and marten. "Family" energy and courage are manifested in the omnivorous badger not in bloody robberies, but in tireless useful work. He digs holes for himself several floors, to match the caves; the total length of the underground "halls" and "galleries" can reach twenty meters.

Each otnork has its own purpose, and the floor is always lined with fragrant herbs for disinfection. Burrow cleaning is carried out daily; badgers completely change their bedding twice a year. The hole is constantly expanding, deepening, improving and, surrounded by the holes of its neighbors, eventually becomes part of a large badger town. The animal eats mushrooms, nuts, acorns, forest berries, root crops, eats snails, mice, ground squirrels. For honey, the badger climbs into the nests of wild bees. They sting him, but he endures, because he loves sweets very much.

The badger is a peaceful animal, but a rare hunting dog, which has chased foxes many times under a shot, will dare to poke its nose into the badger "town". She knows, feels that the owner will not leave his home and family, that he will fight, and one of the opponents will have to die in this dungeon.

It is believed that in 1922 the last Crimean was killed. wolf but the road is open to them. Perekop is narrow, gray robbers cannot run across it in a large flock in order to settle again in a fertile land.

raccoon dog- the Far Eastern predator, which is not very suitable for fishing, was acclimatized in the Crimea twice. For the first time, these animals did not take root, and after the second resettlement they mastered the flat areas, including Belogorsky and Leninsky. The beast is omnivorous, but more prone to animal food.

A wild boar

A wild boar has long lived in the Crimea, but by the 19th century it was completely exterminated by hunters. To restore the population in 1957, one wild boar was brought here from the Chernihiv region, and 34 wild pigs from the Primorsky Territory.

Boars are omnivores. The basis of the diet - roots, acorns, mushrooms, all kinds of fruits and nuts. In addition, there are insects, their larvae, rodents, bird eggs, and even when it is completely hungry, the boar does not disdain carrion.
In November-December, single adult males join the herds of wild pigs with young. Violent battles break out between the billhooks. The front part of the boar's body is protected by a "kalkan" - a thick layer of fat and connective tissue; not every bullet pierces this natural shell. The stomach, however, is not protected, so that for a weaker opponent, the duel can end in death.

But the winner collects a small "harem" - and in early spring becomes the father of the family. The female feeds, warms the piglets, and if necessary, hides away, covering with leaves. At this time, it is extremely dangerous.
Seeing or smelling a person, a wild boar prudently leaves. But he does not forget insults and does not know fear.

Roe

Once upon a time in the forests and in the steppe part of the peninsula lived roe deer. People forced them into the mountain forest areas, and now most of the roe deer live on the slopes of the Main mountain range. Meeting in the forest with this gentle, graceful animal is not such a rarity. Seeing a person, the animal freezes, and realizing that it has been discovered, it is carried away into the depths of the forest.

Belonging to the same family, roe deer are very similar to deer. Both of them feed on herbaceous plants, tree growth, buds, leaves and bark. Like deer, roe deer males wear branched antlers, hold mating tournaments in August-September, and then lose their weapons so that in the spring, in preparation for the next season, they begin to grow new ones. Roe deer in the Crimea are attacked by foxes and martens, but their worst enemy is, of course, the poacher.
Roe deer have excellent hearing. An alarm signal given by one roe deer is received by all animals within a radius of three kilometers.

Crimean red deer

The largest of our animals Crimean red deer found in mountain forests. There are males weighing up to 260 kilograms and up to 140 centimeters high at the withers. The deer is light-footed, slender, with a proud head posture and wide branched antlers. It is to this noble article that he owes his name. The age of the Crimean deer is 60-70 years. The age of young males corresponds, as a rule, to the number of processes on the horns. The age of older animals is determined by the chewing surface of their teeth.

Horns are the deer's weapon. In the Crimea, he has no enemies (except hunters), so the horns serve only for tournament fights during the September mating season. At this time, usually before sunrise, the forest resounds with the inviting roar of males.

The number of deer in the Crimean forests was constantly changing, and at the beginning of the 20th century they were almost completely exterminated. Since 1923, with the formation of a reserved hunting economy, hunting has decreased, and by 1941 more than two thousand deer were bred in the forests of Crimea. Today, as the huntsmen say, the number of deer is “regulated” by the poachers themselves.

Animals of Crimea - inhabitants of the forests - who are they? Mammals (or animals) have become the real masters of the animal world. They have a constant body temperature, many of them are protected by wool. Females carry their young inside their body, and this is more reliable for the embryo than development in a laid egg, even under a strong shell. And, finally, in full accordance with the name of the class, mammals feed their children with milk, the composition of which has been worked out by nature itself over millions of years - this is the ideal food for a newborn.

What animals lived in the Crimea in ancient times?

For a long history of development, the animal world of the Crimean peninsula has seriously changed. In the Tertiary period (about 20 million years ago) on the territory of modern Crimea, which had a slightly different appearance, there was a hot tropical climate. Elephants, mastodons, extinct ancestors of camels, the three-toed hipparion horse, Stenon's horse were found in the steppes. Surely there were many small animals and birds, but time has ground the remains of their bones. Only heavy ostrich skeletons have been found. In the sea (even remotely similar to the Black Sea), the ancestors of modern whales were found.

Approximately 1 million years ago, the Tertiary period gave way to the Quaternary. In the Crimea sharply colder. Mammoths appeared. On the plateau of the Crimean mountains, in deep karst wells, bones, and even whole skeletons of giant and reindeer, wild horses, saiga, bison, cave lion, cave hyena, cave bear, woolly rhinoceros that fell there are still found ...

Who lives in the Crimean forest?

Today there are 58 species of land mammals in Crimea. Let's start with the more primitive and small ones, ending with the "king" of the Crimean forest - the Crimean red deer.

bats there are 18 species in Crimea, we call them bats. The shoulders, forearms, along with the elongated fingers of the forelimbs, the sides of the body, the hind limbs and the stomach of bats are covered with leathery membranes that serve as wings. Bats hunt in the evening and at night, when daytime birds sleep. Having very poor eyesight and good hearing, bats navigate with the help of an echolocation apparatus (in horseshoes, a horseshoe-shaped growth near the nose serves as part of it). Animals constantly send ultrasonic waves into space and, picking up response signals, distinguish objects around them.

Eight species of bats winter in the Crimea, while the rest, like migratory birds, fly south. Flies especially well long-winged common, even with a silhouette in flight resembling a swallow.

Teleuk squirrel brought in 1940 to the Crimea from the Altai Territory. Here they multiplied and settled in all forests and parks. The food of the squirrel is varied: mushrooms, berries, grass seeds, insects; a squirrel is not averse to climbing into a bird's nest, stealing an egg, or wringing the neck of a weak chick. Nevertheless, she prefers hazelnuts, acorns, beechnuts, seeds of pines (common and Crimean), and on the South Shore she is very fond of pineoli - edible nuts of the Italian pine.

Sometimes she happens to drop a two-hundred-gram cone from a high pine. It’s good if people don’t walk along the paths of the park at this time! The fur on squirrel skins has thinned greatly in the warm Crimea, has lost its Altai beauty and strength, so this funny animal has no commercial value for us.

When crossing the road hare (hare), a caring driver usually slows down, inviting everyone who has time to look at the long-eared sprinter.

A hare is similar to a domestic rabbit, but its body structure is better adapted to life in open spaces, to fast running with unexpected jumps that confuse tracks. Newborn hares are sighted; they are covered with delicate fur and are able to move from the first day of life.

Belodushka in the Crimea they call the stone marten with white fur on the throat and on the chest. Elegant, graceful, she, as they say, caresses the eye. At the same time, the beautiful white woman is a brave, cruel, bloodthirsty, voracious and incredibly mobile predator, who, however, is not alien to vegetarian food. In summer and autumn, the marten feeds on blackthorn, hawthorn, pears and grapes. The white-tailed one does not climb trees, but the pine marten even catches up with the squirrel! And if it climbs into a home chicken coop (usually in the middle of the night), then in a few minutes it will strangle the entire bird family, restless with horror.

It's amazing that such an animal can be tamed. At one of the cordons of Karadag, a forester's family kept a white-haired woman. Fed from a pacifier, she grew up on the laps of the hostess and her children and caressed the guests like a kitten! Without touching domestic animals, the white-haired woman does an excellent job of cleaning the yard from the usual among chicken coops and pigsties, invincible rat packs. Where are the lazy, jaded cats!

Badger, perhaps the most noble representative of the bloodthirsty family of mustelids, to which such indomitable taiga predators belong, such as mink, otter, sable, ermine, wolverine, and from the Crimean ones - ferret, weasel and marten. "Family" energy and courage are manifested in the omnivorous badger not in bloody robberies, but in painstaking useful work. He digs holes for himself several floors, to match the caves; the total length of the underground "halls" and "galleries" can reach twenty meters. Each otnork has its own purpose, and the floor is always lined with fragrant herbs for disinfection. Burrow cleaning is carried out daily; badgers completely change their bedding twice a year. This indefatigable builder constantly expands, deepens, and improves the hole, and this well-groomed dwelling, surrounded by the holes of neighbors, eventually becomes part of a large badger town.

For food, the badger collects mushrooms, nuts, acorns, wild berries, root crops, feasts on snails, mice, ground squirrels. For honey, he climbs into the nests of wild bees. The robber is stung, but he endures, because he loves sweets very much.

Crimean mountain fox settles in the mountains, among the rocks, in karst caves and grottoes. She is smart, cunning, impudent, agile, unscrupulous and often occupies the holes of other animals.

The main fox food is of animal origin, in proportion to the growth of the predator and the size of her teeth. Usually these are mice, gophers, hamsters, hedgehogs, bird eggs, and if you're lucky, then the birds themselves, hares and wild rabbits. When there are no dogs nearby, the fox overcomes fear and violates the sacred border of human habitation. But, unlike other delicacy lovers and contrary to folk tales, he does not rob much in chicken coops. And already without pleasure at all, just from hunger, it eats insects, frogs, lizards, carrion.

A rare animal can be compared in bloodthirstiness with a tiny, cute and very funny, at first glance, caress. It can be tamed if raised in a house, and the weasel will sleep on a pillow near the head of the owner, make friends with a cat and a dog, bring fun to the family with its playfulness and tireless curiosity.

The house where the tamed weasel lives will be absolutely clean from rodents and insects. It is a pity that in captivity this animal rarely lives up to five years. And here is what A. Bram says about the behavior of weasels in the forest:

A small animal, only eight inches long, but his courage and audacity are exorbitant. Seeing a person, he does not even think of running away, on the contrary, standing on his hind legs, he looks around with some defiant look. More than once it happened that the weasel even attacked the person herself, and it took great effort to get rid of her sharp teeth.

And yet not affection, but a wild boar- the only truly dangerous animal of the Crimean forest. Seeing or sensing a person, he prudently leaves, but does not forget insults and does not know fear.

The boar is an omnivore. Its main food is roots, acorns, mushrooms, all kinds of fruits and nuts. In addition, there are insects, their larvae, rodents, bird eggs, and even when it is completely hungry, the boar does not disdain carrion. Climbing into gardens, especially potato ones, wild pigs dig them up more conscientiously than any owner - not a single root crop will remain in the ground!

In November-December, single adult males join the herds of wild pigs with young. Violent battles break out between the billhooks. The front part of the boar's body is protected by a "trap" - a layer of fat and connective tissue, so strong that not every bullet pierces this natural shell! The stomach, however, is not protected, so for a weak opponent the duel can end in death. But the winner collects a small "harem" - and in early spring becomes the father of the family.

The female feeds, warms the piglets, and if necessary, hides the babies, covering them with leaves. At this time, it is extremely dangerous. If you find a hidden piglet in the forest and try to pick it up, the pig will come running immediately, and then - look for a higher tree!

The largest, most conspicuous of the inhabitants of the Crimean forests - Crimean red deer. There are males weighing up to 260 kilograms and up to 140 centimeters high at the withers. The deer is light-footed, slender, with a proud head posture and wide branched antlers. It is to this noble article that he owes his name. The age of the Crimean deer is 60-70 years. Every year in February-March, the old deer antlers fall off, and new ones grow in their place, at first very tender, covered with skin and permeated with blood vessels. These are antlers. Since ancient times, people have also hunted deer for the sake of the valuable medicine extracted from these antlers - pantocrine.

Horns are the deer's weapon. In the Crimea, the noble beast has no enemies (except hunters), so the horns serve only for tournament fights during the September mating season. At this time, usually before sunrise, the forest resounds with the inviting roar of males. Rivals fight under the gaze of two or four females, which should go to the winner.

The number of deer in the Crimean forests was constantly changing, and at the beginning of the 20th century they were almost completely exterminated. Since 1923, with the formation of a reserved hunting economy, hunting has decreased, and already in 1941 more than two thousand deer were bred in the forests of Crimea. during the war, they became four times less, and in 1990 the number again increased to several thousand. Today, as huntsmen say, the number of deer is “regulated” by itself, by licensed and poaching shootings.

Once artiodactyls - deer and roe deer- lived both in forests and in the steppe part of the peninsula. People pushed them into the mountain forest areas. Now most of all roe deer live on the slopes of the Main mountain range.

Meeting in the forest with this gentle, graceful animal is not such a rarity. Seeing a person, the animal freezes, and realizing that it has been discovered, it is carried away deep into the forest, shining with a “mirror” (white fur around the tail). "Mirrors" are necessary so that the young do not lose sight of the fleeing herd.

Belonging to the same family, roe deer look like deer, like smaller brothers. Both those and others feed on herbaceous plants, tree growth, buds, leaves and bark. Like deer, roe deer males wear branched antlers, hold mating tournaments in August-September, and then lose their weapons so that in the spring, in preparation for the next season, they begin to grow a new one. Foresters (and hunters too) affectionately call roe deer goats. And here is what A. Bram writes about the roe deer:

She effortlessly jumps over high fences and bushes, swims and climbs just as well; perfectly hears, smells and sees; she is cunning and careful. She grows handy quickly, but in adulthood she always remains a stubborn, capricious creature, especially males, who behave like the most capricious goats ...

Today at Crimea there are 58 species

land mammals.

Among the lagomorphs in There are only two types of Crimea: hare and acclimatized rabbit. The first one is original "native". Distributed everywhere. He loves the borders of the steppe and forest areas. The object of the hunt. Hare-hare, unlike many others wild animals, gets along very well with a person and can be found everywhere, with the exception of the central city blocks.

Rabbit - guest Crimea. Settles in open steppe areas. Destroyed by man.

We call the white-haired marten with white fur on the throat and on the chest. A smart, graceful, beautiful white woman is a brave, voracious and incredibly agile predator, not alien, however, to vegetarian food. In summer and autumn, the marten is supplemented with thorns, hawthorn, pears and grapes. Unlike the common marten, the barnacle does not climb trees, but if it already climbs into a home chicken coop (usually in the middle of the night, then effortlessly, in a few minutes it will strangle the entire bird family, restless with horror.

Crimean predators: raccoon dog, weasel, marten. A raccoon dog - a Far Eastern predator of little use for fishing - was acclimatized in Crimea twice. For the first time, these animals did not take root, and after the second resettlement they mastered the flat areas, including Belogorsky and Leninsky. The beast is omnivorous, but more prone to animal food.

The smallest predator is the weasel, the largest are the badger and, perhaps, the fox. Eat either clean animal food, like a ferret and weasel, or a mixed diet, like a marten, fox, badger, raccoon dog. Of these, only foxes and weasels are quite numerous. Last Crimean the wolf was killed in 1922 at the northern foot of Chatyrdag.

The marten lives in the foothills, the raccoon dog, or, as it is incorrectly called, the Ussuri raccoon, settles along North Crimean Canal, weasel is common throughout the territory Crimea. The badger is a forest dweller. Ferret and steppe fox are more common in steppe areas. The mountain-forest part of the peninsula is characterized by another, according to scientists, subspecies of the fox - mountain-forest.

In the mountains Crimea lives mountain fox, and in the steppe its subspecies is the steppe fox. The main fox food is mice, gophers, hamsters, hedgehogs, bird eggs, and if you're lucky, then the birds themselves, hares and wild rabbits. And already completely without pleasure, from hunger, it eats insects, frogs, lizards, and even carrion. The need will force! Not a fox, not even a wolf (which is believed to be long gone Crimea) can not be compared in bloodthirstiness with a tiny, sweet and very funny, at first glance, caress.

Artiodactyl peninsulas: Crimean red deer, wild boar, roe deer.

Pride of the peninsula - Crimean red deer, the oldest inhabitant of the mountain-forest Crimea. The graceful roe deer is also from the natives, a relative of deer, and the remaining four species of artiodactyls were introduced to Crimea by man, and acclimatization for some was successful, for others not.

Roe deer in Crimea.

Once upon a time, roe deer lived in the forests and in the steppe part of the peninsula. People forced them into the mountain forest areas, and now most of the roe deer live on the slopes of the Main mountain range. Meeting in the forest with this gentle, graceful animals- not so uncommon. Seeing a person, the animal freezes, and realizing that it has been discovered, it is carried away into the depths of the forest.

Belonging to the same family, roe deer are very similar to deer. Both of them feed on herbaceous plants, tree growth, buds, leaves and bark. Like deer, male roe deer wear branched antlers, hold mating tournaments in August-September, and then lose their weapons so that in the spring, in preparation for the next season, they begin to grow new ones. On roe deer Crimea foxes and martens attack, but their worst enemy is, of course, the poacher.

Roe deer have excellent hearing. The alarm signal given by one roe deer is received by all animals within a radius of three kilometers.

The largest of our animals Crimean red deer is found in mountain forests. There are males weighing up to 260 kilograms and up to 140 centimeters high at the withers. The deer is light-footed, slender, with a proud head posture and wide branched antlers. It is to this noble article that he owes his name. Century Crimean deer 60-70 years old. The age of young males corresponds, as a rule, to the number of processes on the horns. Age of older animals determined by the chewing surface of their teeth.

Antlers are the weapon of a deer. AT Crimea has no enemies(except for hunters, so the horns are used only for tournament fights during the September mating season. At this time, usually before sunrise, the forest is resounded by the inviting roar of males.

Wild the boar has long lived in Crimea, but by the 19th century it was completely exterminated by hunters. To restore the population in 1957, one wild boar was brought here from the Chernihiv region, and 34 from the Primorsky Territory. wild pigs.

In November-December, single adult males join the herds. wild pigs with young.

shrews (shrews)- extremely useful creatures, in the mass they destroy insect pests. Of the shrews in the mountain Shrews live in Crimea, in the steppe and mountain - shrews, on the banks of reservoirs - farms.

Today there are 58 species of land mammals in Crimea. We will begin to tell with more primitive and small ones.

Bat

There are 18 species of bats in Crimea, we call them bats. In terms of the number of species, this is the most numerous order of mammals on the peninsula. The shoulders, forearms, together with the elongated fingers of the forelimbs, the sides of the body, the hind limbs and the stomach of bats are covered with leathery membranes that serve as wings.

Mammals of the chiroptera order mastered the heavenly expanses much later than birds, therefore they are active only in the dark. Having very poor eyesight and good hearing, bats navigate using echolocation apparatus. Animals constantly send ultrasonic waves into space and, picking up response signals, distinguish objects around them. All Crimean species of bats feed exclusively on insects. They maintain balance among insects with nocturnal activity by regulating their numbers.

horseshoe

The most common species of bats in the Crimea are two species, large and small. These animals are distinguished by characteristic horseshoe-shaped outgrowths on the nose. They fly out to hunt twice a day - in the evening and before dawn. The hunt ends in the pre-dawn twilight. Horseshoe bats are bad flyers; in inclement weather, their flight may be delayed or even not take place.

Bats pair up in autumn, and females are fertilized in spring. The cub that was born (sometimes two) gets on the membrane and crawls to the mammary gland, holding tightly to the skin of the mother. At first, the female flies with him in search of food. But the baby grows quickly - in a month you can no longer distinguish it from an adult.

Bats are gullible, so there are few of them left in the Crimea. People killed bats out of ignorance, out of fear, and someone just for fun. Curious cases happen to tourists in caves where bats live. Ultrasonic waves are absorbed in a person's magnificent hair, and a harmless animal in need of protection sometimes flies there without any malicious intent, by mistake - to the great fear and disgust of the city tourist. Obviously, this is also why a headdress is not superfluous in caves and grottoes.

The largest bat of the Crimea - giant party, reaching 10.4 cm in length and 76 g in weight. The smallest bat dwarf bat has a length of about 3-4 cm and 3-9 g of weight.

Gopher

The hot waterless steppe is inhabited gophers- insatiable funny rodents the size of a rat. Gophers are painted in the color of grass, because already at the beginning of summer you can’t hide in withered grass. The animals whistle from time to time, standing on their hind legs near their minks and observing. At noon, gophers sleep in deep cool minks, and when it is especially hot, they fall into a second, summer hibernation. The enemies of gophers in nature are the steppe ferret, fox, gull-gull, birds of prey.

Jerboa jumps on long hind legs, balancing with a long tail with a tassel. This makes him look like a kangaroo. He uses his front paws only for leisurely movement, digs the ground with them, takes food. But on the rear, it can make two-meter jumps, and when running away, it develops speeds of up to fifty kilometers per hour. And he is smaller than a hedgehog!

Its permanent burrows are up to three meters deep, of complex structure, with emergency exits. For hibernation, the jerboa prepares the room underground even deeper and warmer. The food of the jerboa is grains of wild and cultivated cereals, melons and gourds, root crops. He also eats insects.

Jerboa

Hamster gray omnivorous, but prefers plant foods. It stores up to 16 kilograms of grain for the winter, carrying it in cheek pouches. It hibernates only in the most severe winters. Few people like the character of a hamster. It is smaller than a cat, but it fights with large dogs, and near its hole it may not retreat even from a person. If in captivity a female gives birth to cubs, she, as a rule, immediately eats them. So judge for yourself.

Looks a lot like a hamster gray hamster. It differs only in size - almost half the size.

white-bellied hedgehog belongs to the order of insectivores. He does not shun plant food - fruits, seeds, roots, but the basis of his diet is insects and their larvae. Hunting in the evening and at night, the hedgehog eats snails, worms, lizards hiding between stones and even snakes. Strongly hungry, the hedgehog attacks small rodents and its distant relatives - shrews. A hedgehog is born already with spines, but they are soft and all are “combed” back. Hedgehogs are smart and tame well. They only interfere with their nocturnal lifestyle - until the morning they scratch and snort, hunting for mice, spiders, cockroaches, crickets ...

In the steppe can meet hare hare. It is grey, with a brownish back. The color of his coat almost does not change after seasonal molts. Long auricles serve the hare for heat dissipation in the heat, like a protruding tongue of a dog. And also these are hearing organs - two independent from each other, the thinnest sound pickups. In the people, a hare is called oblique. Why? Predators have eyes that are known to point forward to look for prey. They rarely run away and look back. But in herbivorous animals, in peaceful birds and fish, monocular vision: each eye with a maximum viewing angle sees its own part of space.

The mother feeds her hares and leaves them one by one in secluded places for 3-4 days, watching from afar to help in case of danger. The hare rarely visits the children, but they do not die of hunger. These animals have an instinct that obliges each "dairy" hare to feed other people's babies. On the seventh day, the teeth erupt in the hares, they begin to eat on their own, and after another three days they leave the nest and no longer remember their not too affectionate mother. However, when enemies appear, the hare behaves selflessly - it rushes about in circles, diverting attention from the kids.
