Austrian regions allow controversial wolf hunting
Vienna (AFP) – Several regions of Austria have allowed the controversial killing of wolves after reporting an increase in livestock attacks, sparking debate in the Alpine EU member.
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) says the orders to kill the wolves violate European law, which lists them as protected animals.
In the southern province of Carinthia, five wolves have been killed so far this year under legislation introduced in January. The killing of eight more has been authorised, according to authorities.
Neighbouring Tyrol, known for cattle grazing freely on mountain pastures, has authorised the killing of six wolves -- yet to be carried out -- under a decree from February, according to province spokesman Maximilian Brandhuber.
"Time and again wolves are sighted near settlements and kill livestock," he told AFP this week, adding that evidence of their presence has "risen sharply since 2019."
After disappearing in the 19th century, th
Albania's Hunting Ban: Birds and Mammals Get a Two-Year Break
Vast numbers of European birds and other wildlife will be spared from illegal slaughter, thanks to a two-year moratorium on all hunting enacted by the government of Albania.
The Balkan country, which lies along a major migratory flyway, encompasses wetlands and other habitats that provide crucial refueling stops for millions of migrating birds. But poor law enforcement, a surge in gun ownership, and an influx of foreign hunters had made Albania essentially a year-round shooting range. Targets were not just game species but also eagles, cranes, shorebirds, and even small songbirds.
"Albania was a death trap for migrating birds," said Gabriel Schwaderer, executive director of the conservation organization EuroNatur.
It wasn't just birds that suffered, according to Schwaderer. To study the critically endangered Balkan lynx, EuroNatur set up automatic cameras in mountainous areas, documenting all passing animals. Mammals suc
New clues may explain the mysterious origins of the Falklands wolf
Charcoal, bones, and tools suggest Indigenous seafarers inhabited the Falklands. It’s possible they may have brought their canine companions along.
When Charles Darwin arrived at the Falkland Islands in 1833, the lone mammal he saw wandering its desolate shores was an odd fox-like creature.
Darwin and other European settlers assumed that the Falklands, also known as Islas Malvinas and located several hundred miles east of the Argentina coastline, were uninhabited. There were no settlements and no people who could have ferried the enigmatic Falkland fox, also called the warrah, to this cold, scrubby archipelago.
The warrah, they decided, must have made its own way across the sea. Scientists later hypothesized the foxes could have made it there by rafting on debris or hopping across ice floes during the last Ice Age.

Briedis yra didžiausias elnių genties atstovas. Jo svoris gali siekti iki 600 kilogramų, kūno ilgis apie 3 metrus, ūgis – 2,3 metro. Briedžio buveinė yra miškas, rečiau gyvūną galima rasti stepių zonoje. Jis platinamas Šiaurės Europoje ir Amerikoje. Jis taip pat randamas Azijoje, būtent Kinijoje, Mongolijoje ir Sibiro taigoje.
Kai kuriose Europos dalyse briedžiai buvo visiškai išnaikinti. Dėl apsaugos, prasidėjusios 1920 m., rūšis buvo išsaugota ir perkelta į Vakarų Europą.
Miškuose briedžiai mieliau įsikuria gluosnių tankmėje, prie upių, ežerų ir pelkių krantų. Miško tundroje jie dažniausiai aptinkami beržų ir drebulių giraitėse. Vasarą tundroje ir stepėje briedžių galima pamatyti ir atvirose vietose. Dažniausiai briedžiai gyvena apsigyvenę. Tose vietose, kur kritulių kiekis žiemą siekia 70 centimetrų, pereinama ten, kur mažiau sniego dangos. Susirinkę į bandas per dieną nueina apie 10-15 kilometrų. Briedžių kelionė trunka nuo spalio iki sausio.
The sable is a mammal of the genus of martens. It is widespread in the forest zone of Siberia, the edge of its range extends to the north of Eastern Europe.
The body length of the sable is 32-58 cm, the tail is 9-17 cm, and the weight is 0.9—1.8 kg. Males are larger than females. Sable fur is one of the most valuable, which is why sable has been exterminated for centuries. On the other hand, the extraction of sable and the trade in sable fur has long served as one of the significant income items in the Russian economy.
Sable is of great importance in Russian culture and traditions. In some Russian folk wedding songs, the sable is the personification of the groom, while the paired character, the bride, is the marten. The images of the groom are especially clear, as the sable appears in the North Russian wedding songs. In the Belarusian tradition, a young couple is symbolized by a sable and a squirrel. Sable is of particular importance in the Buryat culture. The sable was a totemic a
Yakut moose is now even more accessible
To receive the 🏆 "Russian Super Cup" prize in the KGO, a Yakut moose trophy must be harvested. And in general, the trophy will be of interest to all collectors.
The Yakut moose 🫎 in the shape and size of its antlers is more similar to a large European moose, good specimens of which have been successfully harvested in the Chelyabinsk region in recent years.
In a very frosty climate of -50 and with poor nutrition, the antlers of the "Yakuts" never reach the size of the Chukchi ones.
When serious frosts come, the moose goes out into open spaces and starts moving so as not to freeze. Therefore, in Yakutia, local hunters prefer to go moose when the cold weather begins 🥶 from -40 ° C.
🗓 Hunting season: from September to January.
ℹ️ Individual hunting or up to 2 people in a group.
Each hunter is provided with personal transport, a driver and a guide.
The cost of 3 days of hunting, including 1 Yakut moose trophy, is 700,000 rubles.

Hunting Up Above the Clouds
It is the view of many hunters that mountain hunts are the ultimate expression of hunting. Here you will be challenged at all levels. Physically, mentally, technically. with many long distance shots, and in your understanding of game behavior. At the same time it is difficult not to be smitten by the magic of the mountains and their wild beauty. Mountaineers often say that they become physically addicted to the mountains, something most mountain hunters wholeheartedly agree with. It is also up in the mountains that you can find many of the most sought after trophies win the world; Marco Polo-Sheep, Dall Sheep/Stone Sheep, Snow Sheep, Blue Sheep, Mountain Goats perhaps the mighty Markhor or one of the many sub species of Ibex; Asiatic, European and Spanish. One thing that most of these species have in common is that they live in some of the most isolated parts of the planet, such as Kyrgyzstan, Alaska, Canada, Tajikistan or even the Himalaya.

What do modern European hunters wear and what hunting techniques are popular?
Rule of thumb is: if you're invited and your party consists of more than 2, leave camo at home or in moderation (ie. only a cap or a mask). While loden and waxed cotton remains popular, modern hunting clothing is made to be comfortable, quiet, sturdy, warm and prefferably tick-proof.
As for hunting techniques.
-Hunting from a blind is the preferred method. Either low near the ground for birds or in a treestand or elevated blind for larger game.
-Driven hunt is a popular second. Takes more people, is more expensive, but very spectacular. The driven hunt comes in many varieties, and is subject to many rules, traditions and rituals which vary by region.
-Walking flushing hunt is popular in the wide open agricultural areas as well. Requires good dogs.
-Stalking has quite a following as well. Although recently, I've heard a scientist say on a symposium: "95% of the hunters believe they belong to the 5% who can
Bear hunting with Laika ( Russian husky )
On this video shown the most correct, typical LAIKA work (hunt) on a bear.
The Russian word LAIKA (лайка) is a noun derived from the verb layat' (лаять, to bark), and literally means barker. As the name of a dog variety, it is used not only in Russian cynological literature, but sometimes in other languages as well to refer to all varieties of hunting dogs traditionally kept by the peoples of the northern Russia and adjacent areas.
Laikas are aboriginal spitz from Northern Russia, especially Siberia but also sometimes expanded to include Nordic hunting breeds. Laika breeds are primitive dogs who flourish with minimal care even in hostile weather. Laika is a universal breed of hunting dog. Generally, laika breeds are expected to be versatile hunting dogs, capable of hunting game of a variety of sizes by treeing small game, pointing and baying larger game and working as teams to corner bear and boar. However a few laikas have specialized as herding or sled dogs.
On this video shown the most correct, typical lakes’ work on a bear. The most successful will be only with two or three laika, of course, provided they are vicious and viscous. With this number, the division of labor is perfectly carried out: one laika attacks from the front and thereby distracts the attention of the beast; others, attacking from the flanks, seize convenient moments and, flying up with lightning speed, give a grip. When the dog is in the grip, the beast always turns instantly, like a spring, in order to catch the enemy in the rear, and thereby opens its rear to others. The grip of the new dog repeats, and again the bear instantly turns back.
Laika that works confidently and efficiently on a bear is the dream of any Russian Hunter. There are such dogs, but they are few. Let's try to figure out why not all dogs become bear-hunters.
There more than 30 deferent laika breeds in Russia for now. Since well-known bear hunter, Prince Shirinsky-Shikhmatov first cataloged 13 breeds of laikas: Zyryan, Finno-Karelian, Vogul, Cheremis, Ostyak, Tungus, Votyak, Galician, Norvegian, Buryatian, Soyotian, Laplandian and Samoyed Laika in the beginning of 20th century.
All Laika breeds in Russia are divided into three large groups: Hunting Laika, Herding Laika, Sled Laika
These breeds commonly recognized in Russia as Hunting Laikas: East Siberian Laika, Finnish Spitz, Karelian Bear Dog, Karelo-Finnish laika, Russo-European Laika, West Siberian Laika.

Munchkin se smatra neobičnom pasminom mačaka zbog činjenice da ove mačke imaju prilično kratke noge. Mnoge pasmine mačaka, kako bi pregledale životni prostor oko sebe, penju se na stražnje noge. Munchkins ne stoje na stražnjim nogama, već sjede na sjedištu, čvrsto odmarajući rep. Istodobno, prednje noge vise, stvarajući dojam sličnosti ove mačke s klokanom.
Munchkins su rođeni kao rezultat slučajnih mutacijskih procesa, pa pojava ove pasmine ni na koji način nije povezana s naporima uzgajivača. To se dogodilo negdje početkom prošlog stoljeća.
Posebnost ove životinje povezana je s izvornim izgledom, zbog prisutnosti gena ahondroplazina u genima Munchkina.
Nakon pojave ove pasmine, cijela je Europa Žestoko raspravljala o ovoj činjenici, što ukazuje na pojavu neobične mačke s vrlo kratkim udovima. Pasmina se pojavila na našem teritoriju ne tako davno, prije desetak i pol godina, ali uspjela je steći povjerenje mnogih uzgajivača.
Unatoč prisutnosti kratkih šapa, ove životinje imaju kla
