Residents of Yalta told about the appearance of martens in the city, who behave extremely aggressively. On this Friday, May 19, reports "Channel 5". According to the television channel, predators rush at pets in the light of day. The townspeople note that wild animals do not stop even blows with pitchforks. Aggressive forest dwellers attack chickens, cats, dogs and gnaw child toys found in yards. Local residents say they are worried about the safety of children, so do not let them walk around unattended. What is associated with the activity of martens, it is unknown. The day before it was reported about complaints of residents of Simferopol on hedgehogs. According to the townspeople, animals react inadequately to people:
they do not run away, as usual, but with a hissing approach. Experts associate the growth of the hedgehog population with a large number of garbage dumps in the city. "Landfills are places that attract insects and, as a consequence, insectivores, which include hedgehogs," explained Vladimir Kucherenko, senior lecturer of the Department of Ecology and Zoology of the Tavria Academy of the Crimean Federal University.
