“Duel” Maralov Maralov was recorded by a photoealist in the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory (video)

IN Sayan-Shushensky Reserve In the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, two marals were removed. This was told in the press service of the national park.

On the frames recorded by the February night -case at night, two adults in turn step on each other, putting their powerful horns. With the help of the battle, the marals determine who is stronger and most important among other individuals, and build a hierarchy.

“Such battles are rarely serious, they usually end with a demonstration of power, after which the rivals diverge. Real cruel battles take place precisely in the wedding season, when males are fighting for a female, ”explained Roman Afanasyev, senior researcher at the directorate.

The national park added that now, in April, Marals have a period of dropping horns. After that, the hemps are slightly bleeding, tightened with a film, and then the growth of new horns begins. In July, they grow completely, in August – they are completely ossified.

The ruts of the marals begins, as a rule, in mid -September. Although the males usually hold from females separately, in the marriage period they attract their attention in every possible way – not only spectacular battles, but also howl.
