Desman Desmans Nose Noses Russia Russian Smelling Sniffing

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a rare and extraordinary moment as the elusive Russian Desman pops its adorable nose out of the water. With an air of curiosity and caution, it skillfully sniffs the environment for any signs of danger. Known for their preference to stay submerged, this sighting is truly a treasure! Captured in the picturesque Okskii Biospheric Nature Reserve, nestled in the river Oka valley of Central Russia, this snapshot showcases nature's wonders at their finest. It was taken by none other than Andrey Zvoznikov, a talented wildlife photographer with an eye for capturing unique moments. The autumnal hues add a touch of magic to this already enchanting scene. As October paints the landscape with warm tones, our little desman friend fearlessly explores its surroundings. Let us not forget that these incredible creatures are part of Russia's rich biodiversity and play an essential role in maintaining ecological balance. So next time you find yourself near Ryazan town or exploring one of Russia's national parks, keep your eyes peeled for these fascinating mammals! This photo serves as a gentle reminder that even in our fast-paced world, there are still hidden gems waiting to be discovered beneath tranquil waters – just like ANZ-863!
