EDITORS COMMENTS
ANZ-854: The Elusive Russian Desman's Footprints Unveiled!". In this photo print, we witness a rare occurrence in the Okskii Biospheric Nature Reserve. As if by magic, the adult footprints of the enigmatic Russian Desman have been imprinted on the wet sand of a river beach. But hold your horses! These little critters are not known for their terrestrial adventures and often stumble upon solid ground. Located 50km East from Ryazan town in Central Russia, this snapshot captures an autumnal moment in October when nature paints its surroundings with vibrant hues. Andrey Zvoznikov skillfully captures the essence of this unique encounter between man and mammal. The Desmans, notorious for their aquatic lifestyle, rarely venture onto land. Their clumsy demeanor on firm soil adds to their mystique as they leave behind these precious paw prints that tell tales untold. As we marvel at ANZ-854's footprint trail, let us appreciate the wonders of our natural world preserved within national parks and nature reserves like Okskii Biospheric. It is here that wildlife thrives undisturbed, allowing us glimpses into extraordinary lives such as those led by these fascinating creatures. So take a step back from your busy day and immerse yourself in this remarkable image – a testament to both photographer Andrey Zvoznikov's talent and Mother Nature's boundless creativity.
