Hare Escapes Sable in Wildlife Reserve Video
A hare running away from a sable was caught on video in the Dzhelinsky reserve in Ulyotovsky District of Zabaikalsky Krai. The witness to the chase and a kind of savior was the reserve inspector, as reported on January 22 in the Telegram channel of the regional Ministry of Natural Resources.
The hare sought refuge near the inspector«s vehicle during the chase with the sable.
Fleeing from the pursuit, the hare ran up to the inspector«s car and sat down in front of the hood. The predator had to abandon its prey and run into the forest. After that, the frightened hare sat in front of the car for a while longer, not allowing the inspector to leave.
The sable hunts mice, voles, shrews, squirrels, chipmunks, hares, young marmots, pikas, small birds, and young game (hazel grouse, white partridge, capercaillie). From plant products, it eats cedar nuts and cedar slate nuts, berries — blueberries, bilberries, lingonberries, bearberry, black and red currants, rowan, and bird cherry.
