With its unique flat tail on full display, this female specimen showcases nature's creativity at its finest. Taken in the picturesque Okskii Biospheric Nature Reserve, situated along the enchanting river Oka valley in Central Russia, this snapshot captures an autumnal scene straight out of a fairytale. Just 50km east from Ryazan town, it serves as a reminder that breathtaking wonders can be found right on our doorstep. With her keen sense of smell and insatiable curiosity, our furry friend is caught mid-sniff. Perhaps she has stumbled upon an intriguing scent or is simply exploring her surroundings with utmost precision. Whatever it may be, her adorable nose steals all attention! Let us not forget to appreciate that magnificent flat tail! A distinctive feature among desmans, it sets them apart from their fellow mammalian counterparts. Truly a marvel of evolution!
