In mid-September in Ukraine, the famous wolf Mikhas was killed.. He was shot by foresters.
Mihas became famous for the fact that earlier Belarusian specialists put GPS collars on five predators to track their lives and movements.. Wolf Mihas was one of these five, but not at all like his fellows. He traveled a lot, was not aggressive and ate mostly forest berries.. Environmental specialists say that he first traveled around the country, then moved and lived in Poland for some time, after which he emigrated to Ukraine.
Belarusian experts even came to our country to visit Mikhas and see how he got settled.. At that time, the wolf came to the pack, found a wolf and they had four wolves. Experts note that Mihas even gained weight, from 39 kilograms, in less than a year gained up to 50.
Previously, the wolf and his family lived in a field of sunflowers, but when the sunflower was removed, he had to look for another place, and they moved to a small forest near their field.. However, the local forester did not like the fact that new inhabitants appeared in their possessions and shot Mikhas and one of his sons dead. The she-wolf and three more wolves remained alive.
Experts note that Mihas was a special wolf, he was not aggressive, and he had his own diet - fruits, berries and mice - this is his daily diet.. He practically did not use animals, especially large ones.. Contrary to this, our foresters were afraid of a competitor, they say, they will eat all the roe deer and we will not be left, and decided to shoot him.
Meanwhile, scientists argue that a wolf pack would have no effect on reducing the ungulate population in these territories..
