Jackal, Golden jackal      Šaakal or harilik šaakal      Canis aureus

If the jackals still appeared to be rather skinny in early November then in this video from November 20  they look well fed and quite round  in their fresh winter furs.

Ten years is actually a very long time these days. November 24th counts as the Looduskalender forum’s birthday.

Our very best wishes and thanks to all members of the congenial international community who follow the events in Estonian nature and even have visited Estonia.

Congratulations!

In the web camera we can once more follow the activities of wild brown or river trout (Salmo trutta morpha fario) in a short section of a small stream which is also the only suitable spawning area in the stream flowing through the ponds.

Roe deer       Metskits or kaber      Capreolus capreolus

 

It is a common annual autumn view to see the roe deer enjoy the sprouting seeds in grain fields. The male in the video still wears his antlers despite having winter fur but part of his species comrades are already bare-headed.
