EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Desman's Sensory Exploration: A Russian Mammal's Search for Survival" In this image, a Russian Desman (Desmana moschata) is depicted in its natural habitat, meticulously searching its environment with its heightened sense of smell after a satisfying meal. This elusive semi-aquatic mammal is found primarily in the river valleys of Central Russia, specifically in the Okskii Biospheric Nature Reserve along the Oka River. The Russian Desman, also known as the European Water-musk Rat, is an intriguing creature with a unique appearance and behavior. With its short, webbed feet, long, slender body, and distinctive, elongated snout, it is perfectly adapted to its semi-aquatic lifestyle. In this photo, the desman's typical posture is on full display as it sniffs the air around it, utilizing its keen sense of smell to detect potential threats or food sources. After feeding on a fresh-water mussel, the desman's nose twitches and quivers, signaling its heightened awareness of its surroundings. This small, yet significant moment in the life of this fascinating mammal is a testament to the importance of the senses in the natural world. The Russian Desman holds historical significance as well, with records dating back to the 18th century. Today, it is considered a protected species, and efforts are being made to preserve its habitat through the establishment of national parks and nature reserves, such as the Okskii Biospheric Nature Reserve. This evocative image not only showcases the beauty and intrigue of the Russian Desman but also highlights the importance of preserving the natural world and the unique creatures that inhabit it.
