EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a moment of collaboration between man and nature as Russian desmans, also known as water chevrotains or Desmana moschata, are carefully tagged for research purposes in the Okski Biospheric Nature Reserve, nestled in Central Russia, approximately 50 km east of Ryazan town. The Russian desman is a rare and elusive semi-aquatic mammal, native to Eastern Europe and Western Russia. With its distinctive webbed feet, long, slender body, and velvety, almost hairless skin, this unique creature is a fascinating subject for scientific study. In this photograph, a team of dedicated researchers and handlers work together to ensure the safe and humane capture of these elusive creatures. The desmans are carefully maneuvered into nets and gently handled before being tagged with small identification devices. These tags will help researchers track the animals' movements, behavior, and population dynamics, providing invaluable data for conservation efforts. As the researchers work diligently in the field, they contribute to the ongoing history of scientific discovery and the preservation of Russia's rich wildlife heritage. The Okski Biospheric Nature Reserve is a crucial habitat for the Russian desman, and this important research will aid in the protection and understanding of this remarkable species.
