Burrow Burrows Desman Desmans Riverbed Russia Russian

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported to the enchanting realm of Central Russia's Okski Biospheric Nature Reserve. A typical burrow belonging to ANZ-867, a curious and elusive Russian Desman, takes center stage. As we peer into its hidden entrance nestled in the riverbank, our imagination runs wild with anticipation. The desman's cozy abode serves as a gateway from darkness to light - an exit leading straight into the open waters of an ancient river-bed. This picturesque scene unfolds in Meshera, a local name for this flood-prone valley plain along the majestic River Oka. And what better time to witness this natural wonder than during a misty autumn dawn in October? As we gaze at Andrey Zvoznikov's breathtaking composition, it becomes evident that these unique creatures have found their perfect haven amidst nature's splendor. The tranquil ambiance is only interrupted by ripples forming on the water's surface as our furry friend ventures out for another day of exploration. Let this mesmerizing snapshot transport you to a world where wildlife thrives undisturbed and nature reveals its most extraordinary secrets. Join us on an adventure through rivers and burrows as we celebrate the beauty and diversity of Russia's remarkable mammal kingdom!
