South Russian dressing - cute, but independent animal |
One of them is bandaging. People have noticed the dressing for a long time, but its gradual disappearance is only recently. To allow the death of such an amazingly interesting animal is an unforgivable sin before nature. The scientific name of this animal, apparently, came from the old folk: perevoshchik, and the most figurative - bandaging. In its direct meaning, the word "bandage" is everything that is used for tying and bandaging (braid, twine, lace, ribbon, belt). Our animal's muzzle is "tied up", but not with braid or ribbon. His head color is bright, contrasting, consisting of black and pure white "patchwork stripes". The transverse sling crosses the eye area and runs in a wide black stripe.
The bandage lives with us in dry steppes, semi-deserts and deserts in open areas, where it is necessary to hide well from enemies and where a camouflage robe is needed in order to discreetly get close to its prey. Bandaging area: South-Eastern Europe, Anterior, Central and partly Central Asia. It covers the south of the European part, Crimea, the North Caucasus, Eastern Transcaucasia, the plains of Kazakhstan and Central Asia.
a) South Russian - found on the territory of Ukraine, Kalmykia, Ciscaucasia, Georgia and Armenia. There is no continuous settlement of these areas, the animal inhabits separate areas;
During the day it was difficult to notice the dressing, she sometimes showed her muzzle from under the furniture, where she climbed as if into a shelter, there she froze until dark. But when night fell, she got out of the shelter and went “hunting” to the kitchen, where the owner left her a portion of meat. She lived for several months, but at night she was so busy, there was no rest from her. Therefore, she entered the zoo as a gift.
The number of dressings in our time has become very low. So, on the territory of Ukraine, they were registered about 100 individuals, in the Southern Balkhash region 15 years ago, only single tracks were found on survey routes 8-10 kilometers long. There is no more detailed information in recent years. In a number of nature reserves located in the dressing range, it is protected. Registration on the pages of the Union Red Book should somehow ease her fate. As for individual random encounters with this animal, the advice is simple: watch if the opportunity presents itself, but at the same time - your hands at the seams. I. P. Sosnovsky |
