Yellow Unitard For Sale

Apennines here ...


A short video I shot this morning ... Start with a deer crossing and ends with the snow away (but not too much ...) begins to be "heard" ...
Amid the fall with its colors and its animals ...
few more timid and melancholy bellowing ... I have yet to convince me that this intense period for deer (and me!) Is over ..

Kates Playground Freee Mobile

BRAM and smile ... AGAIN! My morning with the ungulates! POWER

To my happiness bramitanti the Deer are still being felt! Obviously with molta meno intensità, ma qualche bella emozione riescono ancora a donarla...

Tra un bramito e un'altro..


...si trova il tempo anche per mangiare qualche bacca di Rosa canina!



Chi fotografa i Cervi (e gli ungulati in generale) sa benissimo che oltre alla "luce buona" bisogna fare i conti con i sensi molto sviluppati di questi animali (soprattutto olfatto e udito).
Le immagini che seguono mostrano un Cervo che "annusa l'aria": retrae le labbra a bocca semiaperta e mette in mostra i denti. Sembra that smile! (This is why German authors call this attitude "flehmen).
Use a supplemental olfactory organ called the "vomeronasal organ" to capture the urine of female hormones that announce the presence of the state of estrus and ovulation ..
But when (in this case!) The slight wind is against me, using this organ (called Jacobson's organ to be precise) to find!

then moves see me better!


close with this young Buck Melanie, very curious! No offense, but if a deer was so close ... I was happy !!!!!!!!

Incubation Period For Impetigo

The Deer and the situation in the vegetation Pistoiese

The deer is a ruminant grazers selective intermediate type, capable in the event need to digest with good efficiency the fibrous parts of plant foods eaten.
In general its behavior is more food and less herbivore grazer foliage of other cervids, although the choices can be highly eclectic. (...)
the most favorable condition for about 60% of the diet consists of vegetation of the herbaceous layer, while the remaining 40% from shoot tip, branches, leaves and bark of trees and shrubs (... ).
(Taken from "Ungulates of the Alps" by A. Muston, L. Pedrotti, E. Zanon, G. Tosi)


Ruminant grazing type intermediate (14.2 kg of forage verde/120 kg bw / day), consisting of about 30-60% of grasses (very variable).
(Taken from "Ungulates" in France because)

Cervi of 300 kg, almost 30 kg of green fodder per day.
(Taken from "The Deer" by Franco Perco)

The breeding season is virtually over.
Adult males will now have to recover lost several kilos in this intense period (which has an adult may have lost about 20% by weight). This factor involves
high mortality in adult males during late autumn, if they are unable to replenish lost resources before winter.
Luckily the production of chestnuts this year looks very good and, being very nutritious anchovy, will undoubtedly help our friends ungulates.
Recently I went to two places in Pistoia, where the deer was already living several decades ago.
I was very impressed by the almost complete disappearance of the forest ... In the few grazing are settled with great speed ferns and junipers ... A particular worry is the fern that in the absence of disorder, prosperous without providing any source of food and can become potentially toxic to the animals!
We have tried in past years to recover by doing some tillage fallow (where possible) and sowing native herbaceous species. These actions, however, need maintenance to last ...
The difference in food availability between Emily and the Tuscan side affects much on the weight of the animals: in Bologna, an adult male can exceed 300 kg!
